Mine is like that too. It's been that way since I got it 3 years ago and I've wondered the same thing. Sorry, I guess I don't have any thing helpful to say really. I'll be watching this thread.

btw, that video in your sig is really funny.

I can't even find the connector for mine. It seems the previous owner cut the wire and just left the sensor to plug the hole on the header.

An O2 sensor costs $20. Why not get one? You have nothing too lose and gas mileage to gain. The car runs open loop when accelerating anyway.
