my o2 censors on my 4 cylinder has been disconnected for about a year now. when i replaced my cat with a custom testpipe, the censors bent and broke.
question:
are there any long term damages to the engine if the o2 censors arent connected as soon as possible?
could i use a universal o2 censors or use an oem censors?
thanks.

 

sensors

 

yea, that sensors

 

I dont think it would hurt anything, except maybe a check engine light

 

your car wont know how much fuel to let in with however much air your pulling in (by giving it gas)

you probably get really shitty MPG compared to what you'd have with a good one.

your car probably bucks a little bit..right?

 

yea, its does smell pretty rich from the driver seat. MPG is not that bad, i was gettin' 300 or more miles on a full tank.

 

Which o2 sensor are you talking about, upstream or downstream?

 

isnt it loud as hell, or did you plug the hole? i ran with mine off for a weekend with an unplugged hole and it was nasty!
