Having no o2 sensors? I know they regulate the air/fuel ratio, and I know they're needed..but I recently broke mine while swapping clutch (read other thread) and noticed that my drivers side one was broken and missing..so This car has been running on one 02 sensor ever since I bought it. With one it ran alright but seemed not as fast as it should be..my question is..

With both o2 sensors hooked up, will it perform that much better?

Yes... one thing though did it never throw a CEL?? Once it starts reading from both it can adjust the computer since it will be reading everything properly.

Its always had a CEL on..but i noticed with the second one broken the idle is really shitty, and it falls on its face leaving 1st. Im just wondering if itll preform that much better with two instead of one, since the cars never had two o2's since i'ved owned it lol

of course. it is possible the eec was operating in limp mode which would make a huge difference
