This is if you dont have cats also. The Check engine light would come on b/c it getting a too rich code b/c of the lack of swithing between the front and rear 02 sensors. And you might also get a backpressure code. All of this will cause the car to run lean to try to fix the problem

yeah-limp mode does come into play-it slightly retards the timing-but the power loss will be noticeable
