Why Does An O2 Sensor Fail In A Porsche?
2
When it comes to a Porsche, its oxygen or O2
sensor is one of the significant components.
3
It is involved in the combustion process and
plays a vital role to enhance engine performance.
4
Main role of the O2 Sensor is to measure the
amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust.
5
Moreover, the O2 sensor then conveys this
information to the engine's computer.
6
O2 sensors are prone to wear and tear over time
since they are exposed to excessive heat.

computer.
