97 es300 question. In order to pass state inspection (VT) I needed to have major exhaust work done so I went the cheap route and replaced from the cat. back with parts store pieces. There is not an emissions test so passed ok. Thing is the sensor that was after the cat. is no longer there. Cut the wire. Cel had been on for a year prior to this. Still runs great. 28 mpg.
What is the real danger in running in this manor? Replaced plugs 3 months ago and the old ones had been burning properly judging by their color and condition.
I understand this not proper and I can take it if you tell me i'm an idiot. I just loose patience with keeping up with all the sensors etc.
Thanks
