running like worse in closed mode

When i first start my car up in the morning or after letting it set long enuf that it is in closed loop it runs noticable stronger.
I am pretty sure this is due to the o2 reading right?
I have a small leak in my slip-fit on my headers. Would just a small leak make this much diffrence?

Second question If i unplug my o2's will my car stay in closed loop if not how do i make it. or is there a better way to make it stay in closed loop?

What will be the bad side of unplugging my 02's?

Hey Crazy95Z28!!

I hate to bother ya but how did your car run or act before you replaced the O2 Sensor.

Especially how did it idle.

Thanks Lee!

well..it ran like a turd...when the car was cold it would run ok till it it started to get warm..then it would start to idle weird like jumping from 700-900 rpms, and making my oil pressure go up and down, and making my voltage act retarded...then if i tried to drive it would run like crap..would barely give it gas and it felt like it was going to die, simualr to a opti spark going out...and if i gave it half throttle, WOW, it would become a screwed up car...hesitating, bogging, feeling like its about to die, out of gas, etc etc...
then repalced it and BOOM she was brand new...

I belive open loop is when the car is cold, then closed loop means the car is warm...i think. not too sure about that,

yes

thats right open is when the car is cold and closed is when it is warmed up.

But what tells the car it is warmed up..I am guessing the 02 temp does. That is why i wanted to unplug them.

Well i am just going to start a new thread asking how to diganose a bad 02


Thanks for the help
