Oxygen Sensor Question

Can an engine run with no oxygen sensor? Will it start?

Re: Oxygen Sensor Question

Yes it will run. However, minus the 02 sensor will at the very least set the SES light off and upset the open and closed loop functions. Get it replaced. Your car will be happier and run better too.
