Yes.
Code 1: Oxygen Content (o2 sensor)
Code 12: EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation Lift Valve)
I will be installing a new ceramic header and a new o2 sensor when it arrives. However, I was told the car can run fine without the EGR. The EGR main purpose is just for emissions control, it shouldn't affect the performance. Is this right? I don't think I have the EGR hooked up.
The new parts installed were: New fuel filter, new distributor, new spark plugs and wires.
What are your recommendations?

i would say wait for your o2 to come in, install it and then see if it helps. i know when i hooked mine back up it cut back on a lot of backfiring.
