The Mazda Miata Oxygen Sensor monitors the remaining oxygen in the exhaust closely, and thus the engine computer is able to provide the ideal fuel mixture, which provides drivers with responsiveness to the throttle body and low emissions. Relied upon over decades, this small zirconia core component has a built-in heater, reaching approximately 600 degrees Fahrenheit in a few seconds, and then alternating the voltage between 0.1 and 0.9 volts a few times a second, which is detected by the ECU as either a rich or lean mixture and allows the system to remain in closed loop to achieve optimal catalyst performance. The lightweight Miata frame, based on Mazda innovation, is even more agile when fuel delivery remains razor sharp. All Mazda roadsters of the modern era have at least one unit mounted in front of the converter and another one behind it, and this arrangement is seen in NA, NB, NC and ND generations, meaning that owners can replace a slow upstream Oxygen Sensor or a downstream monitor with a sense of confidence. Since any delay in feedback causes a full-fledged backup map, a responsive wideband Oxygen Sensor on more recent trims will save fuel, perhaps a few miles per gallon, and leave that orange warning light off. Special acclaim is due to reliability, which protects the sensor against corrosive gases using protective platinum layers, and against vibration using a tough shell, allowing this sensor to live tens of thousands of spirited miles. It is also helpful in terms of safety, as precise control of mixtures maintains the exhaust temperatures at a constant level and prevents excessive overheating of the catalytic converter. Such distinct features as the continuity of communication with the narrow-band logic in the models of earlier years and accuracy of the current flow reporting in the models of later years assist the component in beating its competitors. To any true Miata enthusiast, having this sensor will keep the mythical throttle feel, sharpen the soundtrack and the Mazda grin.
