Mazda 323 Oxygen Sensor is an exhaust oxygen sampler that continuously monitors to allow the engine computer to adjust the fuel air ratio with precision, resulting in cleaner emissions and reliable mileage. The Oxygen Sensor is mounted in the direct exhaust stream and has a zirconia core covered with platinum, and it compares the gases that have passed through it with the outside air; it produces a small voltage that oscillates between the lean and rich states, and this determines the injector pulse width thousands of times per minute. An internal electric heater is applied to bring the element to the sweet spot of 600 degrees in just a few seconds after switching on, which permits closed-loop control almost instantly, as well as assisting the catalytic converter in operating at full efficiency. The unit has gained much admiration among Mazda drivers due to a rough steel shell, which not only brushes off heat shock, road spray, and vibrations, but also keeps the ceramic heart safe. The part fits easily into ports on older carbureted to subsequent fuel-injected versions of the 323 to keep any vehicle agile with either a small 1.3-liter block or a spirited 1.6-liter DOHC engine, and its precise data stream serves the important safety purpose of knock prevention during hard acceleration. In case the response is slowed by contaminants such as oil or coolant, it is detected by on-board diagnostics and the driver is warned prior to the system switching to a rich default mode that would consume more fuel and increase emissions. The later Mazda models with wideband versions have introduced a wider range of reading current instead of voltage, giving the mixture finer control when cruising without losing punch on throttle release. This is what makes the Mazda Oxygen Sensor exceptional in the current market because it combines the recent feedback orientation with durable construction, wallet protection, engine protection, and a protective environment in a single small gadget.
