hehe dude.I had a P2t ECU since September when i bought my 99 SI.Drove it first off with 87 gas=Detonation really bad.Past few months been running 92 only even if gas prices are really high.But any way i took the car to an exhaust shop to have them take off the silencer on a Greddy Evo2 Exhaust and they said you know you have no secondary 02 Sensor, and i was like oh really it has a straight cat on it with CEL light.So went home checked the light and of course bright as can be.So i talk to a friend he got me a chiped P06 tuned with chrome and running a CTR basemap.I tell ya not having that secondary 02 Sensor with a stock ECU made the car run like literly ****.Got the new ECU today and car runs sooo much better.Might want to get another 02 sensor or a conversion harness and new chipped ECU like i did.

no it will not put it into limp mode. Idk about running like crap either. Two of my cars do not have secondary o2 sensors. 96 hatch with a b16 swap with a p30 ecu, runs fine, just has the cel for the sensor. Same goes for my 98 single cam.
