If this probe malfunctions, the injectors will not inject the correct dose of fuel Consequence: loss of power.
Air compression concern
Whether it's a compressor or a turbo compressor, the problem will be relatively similar. the compressor is used to project air into the engine block of your Kia Sorento 3. If the latter is deficient, the air dose may decrease. As an engine needs an exact mixture of air and fuel to operate, its capacities will therefore be limited.
