Subject:      disconnecting O2 sensor... bad?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

        Had an 86 Westy idling/driving rough and running rich- knowledgable
friend says "it's a bad O2- just disconnect the damn thing cause it's makin
yer engine confused.." or something to that affect.  I did it and...  the
engine runs great, normal in fact.  So- my question to all wise listees is:
What are the adverse affects of disconnecting the main plug of the O2
sensor wire.?  Engine runs leaner and smoother now, but what about
emissions, or frying something else...?
        Thanks a whole bunch...
