Greetings, Can someone tell me how the Oxygen sensor actually works. Does is work by actually sensing oxygen in the exhaust? Or does it "correlate" by providing exhaust temperature to the ECU, which then interprets the Oxygen based on other inputs from the injection system. Does water or methanol in the fuel cause the oxygen sensor to read to rich or lean? Does water or methanol, or other fuel additives, cause an oxygen sensor to fail prematurely? Sincerely, Mark Keller 91 Carat "Lazarus"
