Problem with Oxygen Sensor

Oxygen sensor keep track exhaust emissions and determine the amount of fuel that is needed in the internal combustion chamber. Malfunction of this sensor is the cause of the wrong amount of fuel would get burned during the combustion process. This would create a rich fuel mixture, which would result in slow acceleration.
