Walker Products 250-24617 oxygen sensor for the 1997-1999 Chevrolet Malibu 4-cylinder 2.4L, the 1997-2003 Malibu V6 3.1L and other vehicles measures the oxygen in the exhaust gas to show how efficiently the engine is burning fuel. This listing is one sensor.

  • Electrodes made of a gas-permeable platinum layer
  • Measures oxygen levels to help fine-tune the air-fuel mixture for fuel economy
  • Monitors exhaust gases to help reduce pollutants
  • Coating keeps combustion residue and particulates in the exhaust from contaminating or eroding the electrode surfaces
  • Made for its specific application and fitment position, with the diagnostic feedback the ECU needs

Quick facts

  • Part: Walker Products 250-24617 oxygen sensor
  • Fits: the 1997-1999 Chevrolet Malibu 4-cylinder 2.4L, the 1997-2003 Malibu V6 3.1L and other vehicles
  • Position: Downstream
  • Condition: New

A failing sensor can show up as rough running, higher fuel consumption, more exhaust emissions or a lit malfunction indicator light. Those signs alone do not prove the sensor is the problem, since a vacuum leak can also make an engine run poorly. The sensor, wiring harness and connector can also be inspected for physical damage.

Fits

This sensor is listed for Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac models, including the 1999-2001 Oldsmobile Alero 4-cylinder 2.4L, the 1999-2004 Alero V6 3.4L, the 1999-2001 Pontiac Grand Am 4-cylinder 2.4L and the 1999-2004 Grand Am V6 3.4L. It is a direct-fit replacement for these vehicles, and the 1997-2003 Malibu V6 3.1L takes one. If your car is not named here, open the Buyer's Guide tab and look up your exact model and engine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Chevy Malibu oxygen sensor right for a 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu V6 3.1L?

Yes. Walker Products 250-24617 is listed for the 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu V6 3.1L, which takes one, and for the 1997-1999 Malibu 4-cylinder 2.4L.

Does this Alero oxygen sensor fit a 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero V6 3.4L?

Yes. Walker Products 250-24617 is listed for the 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero V6 3.4L and for the 1999-2001 Alero 4-cylinder 2.4L, one sensor per application.

Is this Walker Products oxygen sensor narrow-band or wideband?

This sensor is a narrow-band design with 4 wires and an M18 - 1.5 thread. It determines the oxygen content of the exhaust gas and monitors the air-fuel ratio.

Which symptoms can point to a failing narrow-band oxygen sensor?

Rough running, higher fuel consumption, more exhaust emissions or a lit malfunction indicator light. Newer vehicles may also store fault codes related to the sensor.

What does the coating on this oxygen sensor protect against?

The coating keeps combustion residue and particulates in the exhaust gases from contaminating or eroding the electrode surfaces. The electrodes themselves are a gas-permeable platinum layer.
