What is an Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor?
An Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor is a device that measures the temperature of the exhaust gases in a combustion engine.
What is the purpose of an EGT Sensor?
The purpose of an EGT Sensor is to help the engine achieve optimal performance by providing feedback on the exhaust gases, allowing the engine to adjust the air-fuel ratio for optimal combustion.
How do I know if my EGT Sensor is faulty?
You can check the exhaust gas temperature with a thermometer to determine if the EGT Sensor is reading accurately. If the readings are incorrect, then the Sensor may be faulty.
Can a faulty EGT Sensor cause damage to my engine?
Yes, a faulty EGT Sensor can cause damage to your engine if it does not provide accurate readings. This can lead to an incorrect air-fuel ratio, resulting in incomplete combustion, which can damage engine components.
How do I replace an EGT Sensor?
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the old EGT Sensor.
- Clean the mounting surface and install the new Sensor.
- Reconnect the negative battery cable.
- Test the Sensor to ensure it is working properly.
