Exhaust Gas Oxygen (Ego) Sensor

The EGO sensor is threaded into the exhaust manifold and provides information to the MCU on the oxygen content of the exhaust gases. The sensor varies the output signal to the MCU in response to oxygen content: the less oxygen (rich mixture), the higher the voltage output signal.
