I'm confused. You've pulled the codes and found a problem? Or you're just guessing?

The O2 sensors are critical for the EFI to function properly unless you're not interested in having the computer control the AF.

I have an off road H pipe and everything functions normally.

Im assuming one of the many codes in my car is related to having no cats. I have yet to acctually pull the codes because its 30 degrees outside and thats where my car sits. The car has what I believe to be functioning o2 sensors but if theres no cats wouldnt that throw a code?

Dude... you own a Fox. Your O2 sensors are pre-cat. Having or not having cats has nothing to do with throwing O2 sensor codes. Now... if you're running long tube headers, that may be a different story.
