what will happen if oxygen sensor damaged because currently my car still working with damaged sensor
what will happen if i didnt change in case of
-fuel consumption
-engine temperature

 

[naklaju]

fuel consumption will increase in cru$ing mode...

yup2
coz the ecu didnt get the feedback of mixture from the exhaust hence the ecu just predict only wheteher the mixture is right or not which tend to increase fc

close loop failure , higher fc cos of no compensation during idling and highway cruise

how bout my car nissan sentra ? I dint face any idling problem, but really noticable higher FC ?

no one said here there will be a problem with idling ?
closed loop supposed to make idling more fuel efficient ?
cant you atleast use google and be less lazy ?

yup, close loop is suppose to safe u petrol when ur either idling or cruise, oxygen sensor are to detect air/fuel ratio, so it tries to give a better a/f ratio while saving petrol...
