Since the o2 senser is in the news =

lately, I am wondering if anything would be hurt(other than ozone) =
by
permanently disconnecting the booger. My 84 frequently had =
the famed
symptoms until I dc'd the o2 senser and then they cleared up. Bus =
depot
sent me a brand new one which I installed per the instructions, but the =
problem
resurfaced. Again, said symptoms are :
frequent loss of power on the =
highway,
whereupon the van won't get over 60 mph or pass anything even when
florred,
very rough =
idle
very poor response to the accel pedal,
horrible gas mileage
***DOES THE O2 SENSER READ WRONG AND =
FOUL THINGS
IF THE CAT HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A STRAIGHT PIPE? THE CAT IS DISTAL =
TO IT,
BUT PERHAPS A CHANGE IN FLOW IS SCREWING UP THESIGNAL TO THE =
"BRAIN."
Again, without the senser, the van ran wonderfully =
for several
days and I'm thinking it's better to run with the exhaust a little dirty =
than to
get 10 mpg and have NO power.
Can I just disconnect this for good?
