I could be wrong but normally not having o2 sensors would cause the injection system to run in a fail-safe mode and run rich, as to save you from running too lean and burnin up.

I have no o2 sensors in my car and it smells like raw gas half the time.

DIY KOEO/KOER/Cylinder Balance Self-Test ...don't gue$$, and no.....not having the O2 sensors connected should cause that problem.

Provided you don't have any other failures, the system "estimates" A/F feedback based on the other sensors input and sets fuel trim based on tables vs. coolant temp, rpms, load, etc.
