ok, so my 93 RS tends to bog down between 2k-3k rpm, I searched a bunch and found that it was probably the 02 sensor, so I jacked up the car and disconnected it, this seems to have cured the bogging issue. The check engine light turns on now as soon as I start the engine, I assume that’s normal considering it can’t find the sensor.
How long can I leave it like this? I know it’s gonna take a toll on my gas mileage, but can it damage the engine? exhaust? cat?
and where can I get a replacement, the acura dealership wants like $150 for it , fuck them.
it wont seriously damage ur engine but it will put deposits on ur valves and spark plugs that will keep them firing fully. they will still work just not to their full potential.
