how bad will FCs run without o2 sensor?
somehow mine has burned itself off. don't ask how. was doing my downpipe last night and realized that the o2 was not connected to anything. (which explains why the sensor voltage in the safc never made sense, nor the o2 volt on the turbo timer either)
gonna go get one today hopefully, just wondering what the effects of this being like this were because it's been screwed for as long as i can remember. no wonder the guy before me had problems with the car.

nz, are you saying that with the o2 gone, i'm running natually rich? or should i richen my safc a little until i replace that sensor?
just dont wanna run lean. my precat didnt have any soot in it at all, which kinda worried me. dunno how that could happen because my car would afterburn like hell on decel, must be leaning out somewhere in the throttle range though, right>

The 02 sensor on FCs is basically only used when driving at a continuous speed, such as highway cruising. It is used to increase fuel economy. Basically the only negative effect you should have without one, is like NZ said, worse fuel economy. But no, you shouldnt run rich at idle or WOT.
*Edit*- And afterburn on decel could be a mal-adjusted TPS, or faulty ACV.

****Me car dosnt stay on with out a 02 sensor
i have a microtech mtx******
Just another cheap aftermarket engine control system
Hey, all you guys make smart remarks about the factory engine managment system....so take that humor, please.
I had a irregular 02 sensor once. When cruising down the road I'd feel a ever so slight bogg when the 02 went off line(I have a led that shows codes inside the car so I can tell if it goes offline). With day to day driving you'll never notice it missing......until you go get the emission testing ...then you'll miss it big time.

i wouldnt' say it uses 5% more fuel ... i would say it uses 15% or more.
I went from 425 kms on a tank to 275 a tank when the 02 sensor wire decided that after my 2 nd time fixing it it would **** me off again.

well it's definitely been not connected for a long time. i put my turbo timer in like a month after buying the car so what is that, may?
who knows. it pass a full inspection without the o2 though, go figure. that includes emissions
