So is this just a matter of my check engine light coming on or will the car run like crap?

Thanks

You will need to keep the front O2 sensors however you can do away with the rear sensors (the ones that came after the cats). Car will run fine except will throw SES light. You will have to use O2 sims or have somebody program out the trouble code. If you put in the rear O2 sensors with no cats car will not run any better or worse but you will get a SES to say you have defective cats.As far as I know rear sensors just monitor the condition of your cats.
Good Luck

So one person says "run like crap" and one says "Car will run fine"
