![Servicing Oxygen Sensors]()
An oxygen sensor detects the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas and sends a signal to the engine computer (ECM), which adjusts the air/fuel mixture to the optimal level. Too much oxygen in the exhaust gases indicates a lean mixture, which can cause performance problems, including misfires. Too little oxygen indicates a rich mixture, which wastes fuel and results in excess emissions. Either condition can shorten the life of the expensive catalytic converter.

The Bosch transformer ignition coil was introduced to replace the older oil filled coil in 1987 to cater for the rapid development in engine technology, which had led to a higher tension spark being required in new vehicles. Since it's introduction, difficulties and confusion have been experienced by some people when selecting and installing the correct transformer ignition coil to replace the oil filled coil.

When a spark is formed across the electrode gap of a spark plug, some noise is generated in the form
of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). This interference can affect electrical devices in close
proximity. In order to filter out this noise most NGK Spark Plugs are manufactured with a 5k? internal
resistor designed to target and eliminate this noise.

The modern brake pad is designed to use cohesive friction to produce brake force. These brake pads transfer a thin layer of pad material on to the rotor surface known as the transfer layer. The braking force is achieved by continuously breaking the adhesive bonds between the brake pad and the transfer layer on the rotor.
