The first Chevrolet C1500 came into the world during the Kennedy Administration, all the way back in 1962. However, oxygen sensors weren't part of the Chevrolet C1500 until the late 1970's, when fuel economy and hydrocarbon emissions became an issue. In the old days, gasoline was cheap and plentiful, and not knowing any better, we didn't consider where that nasty stuff that came out of our tailpipes was going.

Well, these are different times, and the new Chevrolet C1500 (early 1980's - 1998) is a much different vehicle. Fuel economy has been on most people's minds these past few years.

The Chevrolet C1500 oxygen sensor is an important key fuel economy and emission control. The best fuel to air ratio, or "mixture," is one that keeps the engine to running at peak performance while minimizing exhaust emissions. A leaner mixture consisting of more air and less fuel results in lower emissions. The Chevrolet C1500 oxygen sensor measures the oxygen amounts in the exhaust gases, then sends an electronic signal to the fuel-injection system, which adjusts the mixture accordingly. An oxygen sensor that is damaged or defective can cause lower engine performance, increased fuel consumption and polluting exhaust. When this starts happening, your Chevrolet C1500 oxygen sensor should be replaced with a new factory authorized unit.
