You will have a constant CEL and possibly limp mode, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I would just chip it and use the stock P30 program with the knock sensor disabled.

Knock sensor doesn't make your car run in limp mode. But sure does get annoying though.

yes, it will run like crap. Wire up the knock sensor.

I ran without the knock sensor for a while, didn't affect it. Just annoys the hell outta you sometimes.
