What Happens If The Oxygen Sensor Gasket Is Not Installed?

2023-04-13

The Oxygen Sensor Spacer is a small gasket that acts as a seal between the Oxygen Sensor and the exhaust pipe. It is usually made of metal, plastic or rubber and has strong high temperature resistance.


Oxygen Sensor Spacer


The main function of the oxygen sensor gasket is to ensure the sealing between the oxygen sensor and the exhaust pipe, so as to avoid the leakage of exhaust gas. If the oxygen sensor is not installed with a gasket or the gasket is damaged, it will cause oxygen leakage, which will affect the working effect of the oxygen sensor, and even cause the engine to malfunction or be damaged.

Generally speaking, when replacing the oxygen sensor, the gasket should be replaced at the same time. If the oxygen sensor gasket is found to be aged or damaged, it should be replaced in time. When installing a new oxygen sensor gasket, make sure it is installed correctly and tightened with the correct torque to ensure a tight seal between the gasket and the oxygen sensor and exhaust pipe.

If the oxygen sensor gasket is not installed properly or is missing, it can negatively affect the operation of the vehicle. The oxygen sensor gasket acts as a seal between the oxygen sensor and the engine exhaust manifold. If there is no gasket or the gasket is not installed properly, it will cause the following problems:

Air leakage: If the oxygen sensor gasket is not installed properly, it will cause oxygen leakage, destroy the balance of air-fuel ratio, make the engine work unstable, and even cause the engine to misfire.

Decreased fuel economy: Due to oxygen leakage, the engine works unstable, which may cause the fuel economy of the engine to decrease, thereby increasing the fuel consumption of the vehicle.

Oxygen sensor failure: Because there is no gasket or the gasket is not installed properly, the oxygen sensor may be affected by high temperature and oxygen leakage, resulting in oxygen sensor failure and affecting the work of the engine.

Therefore, if you forget to install the gasket or find that the gasket is missing when installing the oxygen sensor, you should install the gasket or replace the gasket in time to ensure the normal operation of the oxygen sensor.
