taking out O2 sensor??

Does taking out the O2 sensor help? I think it makes you run richer...dunno if that would help any though on a stock motor.

yeah youll run richer, and throw an ecu code. dotn think it will help you at all since youll have an check engine light. if you want to run richer then just get a V-AFC

Well....I was missing both of my O2 sensors for about a month. I averaged 30 MPG, and ran a 15.3 in the quarter mile, which I have yet to beat with properly functioning O2 sensors!
