Can u run a car fitted with a catalytic converter with out the oxygen sensor wiring being connected?
Answers:
I would say that the most problematic thing is that it is possible to wreck the Catalytic converter by doing this. I would hope that the car would go into limp home mode to avoid damage but if not there is a danger of poisoning the convertor as the fuel mix would be letting unburned fuel ignite in the cat.
yes but if you live where they do emissions testing it will not pass ands the check engine or service engine soon light will stay on
I study physics. and I so desperately wish I could answer your question.
I would not advise it. The oxygen or lambda sensor is used by the engine to adjust fuel settings so without it the car will not run very well. On top of this the anoying 'check engine' warning light will be illuminated. Many cars, when they detect a fault with a sensor will go into limp home mode which is ok to get you home but not much else. I'm not sure if that applies to all cars though.
Not adviseable, it will have many undesirable effects on your
car all of which cost $$$
well yes you can
but that means the car will be out of closed loop and may damage the cat after time
Yes you can but you are stupid if you do so .Why do you want to?
