5 Key Sensors That Impact Your Car's Fuel Efficiency
1️⃣ Oxygen Sensor
This sensor tracks unburned oxygen in exhaust gases. If it malfunctions, your car might run too rich or too lean, wasting fuel and reducing efficiency.
2️⃣ Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor measures incoming air. Faulty readings disrupt the air-fuel balance, leading to incomplete combustion and higher fuel consumption.
3️⃣ Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
The TPS monitors the throttle valve's position. If it's off, your engine's efficiency takes a hit due to inaccurate air-fuel adjustments.
4️⃣ Fuel Pressure Sensor
This sensor ensures proper fuel pressure. Errors can cause an imbalance in the fuel-to-air ratio, affecting performance and fuel economy.
5️⃣ Temperature Sensor
By monitoring coolant temperature, this sensor helps optimize combustion. Faulty readings can lower fuel efficiency and strain the engine.
