What type of repairs is related to carbon monoxide (CO) emissions?

The type of repairs related to carbon monoxide (CO) emissions primarily focuses on components that manage fuel combustion and the efficiency of the engine's air-fuel mixture. Fuel injectors and oxygen (O2) sensors play crucial roles in this aspect.

Fuel injectors are responsible for delivering the precise amount of fuel into the combustion chamber, ensuring efficient combustion. If they are malfunctioning or clogged, it can lead to incomplete combustion of fuel, which often results in higher CO emissions. On the other hand, O2 sensors monitor the levels of oxygen in the exhaust gases and provide feedback to the engine control unit (ECU) to adjust the air-fuel mixture accordingly. A faulty O2 sensor can cause the engine to run rich (too much fuel compared to air) or lean (too much air compared to fuel), leading to increased CO emissions.

In contrast, while other repair options might address different engine performance issues, they do not have as direct an impact on CO emissions as the combination of fuel injectors and O2 sensors does. For example, replacing spark plugs and ignition coils might improve ignition efficiency, but this is more related to engine performance rather than directly addressing emissions issues. Likewise, repairs like head gasket replacements or timing belt adjustments affect other
