0986259085 Bosch Exhaust Gas Temp. Sens.

This sensor basically measures the temperature of the exhaust gases coming out of your engine. It sends that information to the engine’s computer – the ECU – as an electrical signal. It’s a pretty straightforward little device, just reporting on how hot things are getting after combustion. Think of it as one of the eyes and ears for the ECU. The computer uses that temperature reading, along with information from other sensors, to fine – tune things like fuel injection and ignition timing. It's really key for controlling emissions, ensuring your catalytic converter isn't overloaded, and generally keeping the engine running efficiently. It works alongside other sensors, helping the computer get the complete picture. If this sensor goes bad, it can cause a whole bunch of problems. The ECU might misinterpret the exhaust temperature and adjust the fuel mixture incorrectly, which can lead to poor fuel economy, rough idling, or even damage to the catalytic converter. You’ll notice if it’s failing because the check engine light will likely come on, and you might feel a loss of power or notice the engine running unevenly. It really acts like a shield for more expensive components. A failing sensor can cause your catalytic converter to work overtime and burn out, which is a costly repair. You can find these sensors pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online often have a good selection. Replacing it is usually pretty simple, but if you're not comfortable working on your car, it’s best to have a mechanic take a look. All-season performance: Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (MPN 0986259085) comes with a 12-month warranty!
