Motor sensor and parts

Toyota Oxygen Sensor/O2 Sensor


The oxygen sensor is constantly sniffing the exhaust and sending the computer a fluctuating signal where it says in effect "a little more gas" and then "a little less gas."
If it gets sluggish so that it's slow to update it's report, then it might get stuck saying "more, more, more-oops-less, less, less." A sluggish O2 sensor can cause your idle to hunt where the rpm's wander up and down a bit.
It can also cause some surging feel when driving at lower speeds with light-throttle acceleration or light-throttle cruise. A properly working O2 sensor is needed for fuel economy, for clean emissions, and your basic engine performance.

Famed Swiss climber falls to death near Mount Everest

Image
                        MOUNT EVEREST A famed Swiss climber has died in Nepal's Everest region after falling 1,000 metres off a ridge during preparations to scale the world's highest mountain. Ueli Steck, 40, died on Sunday after falling to the foot of Mount Nuptse, a smaller peak in the area, officials said. "He skidded off about 1,000 metres from camp... Other climbers ascending Everest saw him and asked for his rescue," said Dinesh Bhattarai, director-general at Nepal's Department of Tourism. Steck, one of the most renowned mountaineers of his generation, was acclamatising ahead of a bid to ascend Everest through the less-climbed West Ridge route and nearby Mount Lhotse next month - all without the use of supplemental oxygen. His body was recovered from the site and taken to an airport in Lukla. Steck's family said the exact circumstances of his death were still unclear. "The family is infinitely sad and a...

successful football team captains in world history

Image
               Franz Beckenbauer (Bayern Munich/ West Germany): At the top of the list is obviously the top captain in football history. His greatness can be proved by this fact that as a captain, Franz Beckenbauer won every trophy and title going at both club and international level. His elegance and ability as a player were good enough but his steely determination and ferocious will to win were most glaringly made apparent at the 1970 World Cup. In that World Cup he played on with his shoulder dislocated and his arm in a sling, as Germany were defeated 4-3 by Italy in ‘The Game of the Century.’ He was great as a captain and also best as a football player. No other person in football history could be compared to him in his greatness and performance as a footballer. He was really a man of honour and he was truly honoured by the people as much as he deserved. Paolo Maldini (AC Milan/Italy):  Maldini is regarded as one of the greatest d...
