Oxy Sensor

Hey guys,

i think my car may be running abit rich on fuel, i was shocked to see in some old threads people saying they get around 350-450 kms out of a tank. i usually get around 250-300.

now i dno if this is becuasue i fang it around abit, or becuase my oxy sensor is playing up.

my question is, will it cause any harm(besides to my wallet) if i am getting more fuel in the air fuel mixture due to a dodgey oxy sensor. will it screw with any internals or cat/exhaust?

there are few other things of importance i need to fix up first and need to know if i should get my oxy sensor fixed asap or not. (it's a gpx if that helps)

cheers!

Running rich will polish your bores amongst other things.

Its an $80 part & DIY-able.
