What are the precautions and steps for handling the oxygen sensor on Pontiac Firebird?

The oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust manifold or pipe and can be accessed from under the hood. It has a permanently attached pigtail and connector that should not be removed or damaged. Keep the sensor clean and handle it gently. Do not use cleaning solvents on it. The silicone boot must be correctly installed to prevent melting and ensure proper operation. Warm the engine to at least 120 degrees F before removing the sensor. Disconnect the electrical connector and carefully unscrew the sensor from the exhaust manifold. Use a special anti-seize compound on the threads for future removal. Install the sensor, tighten it to 30 ft-lbs, and reconnect the electrical connector.

Pontiac Firebird Oxygen Sensor

The Oxygen Sensor found in Pontiac Firebird vehicles helps in the determination of the exhaust oxygen content to help in achieving the right air/fuel mixture and minimize emission. The sensor employs a zirconium dioxide sensing element that has a layer of platinum and the result obtained is a voltage value that defines the richness or the leanness of the mixture. Contemporary Firebird models' emission control arrays include at least two oxygen sensors, one located ahead and one farther the catalytic converter, for a feedback to the engine control computer. In particular, the sensor's ability to respond promptly to changes in the air/fuel mixture is critical to the effective operation of the catalytic converter and low toxicity of exhaust gases. Whenever sensors get rusty or get contaminated, then there will be high emission rates as well as low fuel efficiency leading to the illumination of the CHECK ENGINE light. Newer cars may include air/fuel ratio sensors which have wider Air/Fuel mixture measuring possibilities in contrast to the oxygen sensors.

Each OEM Pontiac Firebird Oxygen Sensor we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
