I have an 86 also and I've had the o2's unplugged for a while now. The only thing I've noticed is the car runs rich.

Sorry 4 asking stupid questions IM 19 starting to get in to mustangs I wanted one 4 a long time and now I got one now starts the learning propess.so that will cause the car to lose power right?I would plug it in and see what happens but I got in to a fender bender and the car is getting fixed right now.

How's your car going to adjust for fuel and timing without the O2 sensor hooked up? Running without it with, like you said, make it run rich, and get horrible gas mileage.
