Unplugging o2's

If I unplug my front 02's, will my car stay in open loop? I think my header collector leak may be causing my o2's to dump fuel.

I think you'll be ok being in open loop. I wouldn't think your gas mileage shouldn't be too far from normal.

Hey Eric,
Let me know if you need any help with tuning your car. I can make it drive smooth again.

Unplugging the o2 sensors might help, but will only temporarily make it a little better. The car needs to know what size injectors it has...
