O2 Sensor Contamination

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1993 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1993 Pontiac Firebird, 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, 1993 Chevrolet Lumina, and 1993 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

O2 sensor contamination, caused by silicone in certain fuels or use of improper RTV sealant, may cause a White powdery coating to cover exterior of O2 sensor. False high signal voltage (low oxygen content sensed) produced is interpreted by control module as a rich mixture, causing control module to set Code 45.
