It'll miss really bad and suck more gas than a jetliner. if you go WOT it'll clear up a bit until you start cruising again.
You'll know somethings wrong.

No.

When WOT or enough throttle to put you in PE your computer no longer uses the O2's for fueling. You wiill not see any more power BUT it will run a hellofa lot better while cruising and part throttle.

In a stock O2 setup the computer only reads and adjust fuel for idle, part throttle situations, just as Bill has said above. I suggest that if you have an inkling that those sensors are bad, you go purchase and install new sensors. I see you have posted this topic three times in this forum, you are finally getting some feedback, think it over. Good luck.

because with no O2's your idle, part throtle and cruising mix will be whack, that's why! Pep Boys has Bosche sensors for less than $50 ea.
