driving without o2 censor
while i was replasing some vaclines i vas dumb enough to rip of the wire to the o2 censor,, thought i hed really done it, but the car runs just fine,,
i have pfc, do i really need the o2?
dont know if it is related but seems like i have meen getting worse miles per gallon,
is it dangerous to drive vithout it?
the thing is, ,i want to solder the wire back on, but it is so damn hard to get to the censor,, hov do i get it out? from above of from beneath??

I ran with my o2 sensor off for a while, but recently put it back on, and it seems like I am getting better gas mileage now and the car is smoking less during startup.

You don't need the O2 sensor, but it does effect gas mileage a bit. If you don't have a standalone ECU you'll also probably get a check engine from time to time as well especially when cruising on the highway maintaining a certain engine speed...
