Two days ago, my CEL came on randomly on my way to a trip to Dennys for a late-nite snack. About 5 minutes later, it went off... I shrugged it off.

It came back on yesterday, and since I had my Pocketlogger plugged in, it indicated that it was the o2 sensor. Today, the logger is reading 0.00v on the o2 readings, with spikes up to a whopping 0.43v intermittantly.. but it doesn't go any higher than that.

I've got a new sensor on the way, courtesy of oxygensensors.com ($57.99!) - but my question is, how does the car run in this situation where it's getting zero input from the o2 sensor? Will it run rich by default, or should I just not drive it at all in the meantime? Help! :|
