The service life of the oxygen sensor on a VAZ, including the fourteenth, is measured by mileage. In the range from 80 to 150 thousand km, the lambda probe will inevitably fail. If you listen to the advice of the service experts, then it’s time to replace the device after the first 60 thousand km. This pleasure is not cheap - from 1000 to 3000 rubles, depending on the region of the country.
Oxygen sensor (lambda probe)
Therefore, it is customary among VAZ owners to repair the lambda probe with their own hands or turn it off completely (in this case, the car’s brains are simply flashed). The question is reasonable: is it possible to disconnect it from the network (remove the sensor and connect the connector). In theory, this does not promise anything terrible, but in practice, the electronic engine control unit will set the average parameters for the fuel mixture - the characteristic will jump from rich to lean - the experienced dynamism of the car will disappear and gasoline consumption will increase. So, if you have a need to spend money on the right things, read the manuals on how to repair an oxygen sensor.
Re: Liven up the lambda probe a little
This procedure helped the author interestingly. and for how long.
