Why would that be the case for certian? I assume by doing this you have the car go into limp mode for the missing sensor. Therefore it will run @ default trim. If that is the case then the car should run better then with a sensor that is running right intermitently no?



Wouldn't it already be running in a limp mode if the component was the problem? So if you remove the component, it shouldn't make any difference whereas if it wasn't in a limp mode for that component, it would now, if you unplug it. Maybe someone else with more experience with the mechanics of the PCM could clarify this.
