1. If at all possible, replace your o2 sensor even if it is from Discount Auto or whatever. Get a Napa one later when you can afford it.
2. Yes, your car will run, probably richer than it is supposed to. It really depends on what you have done to your EGR system.
3. Your computer will not recieve the proper voltage input so expect a performance/economy decrease which could result in poor driveability which could lead to a variety of other problems.
4. Sorry to be so negative, but since you obviously care about your car, spend the $30 for a new sensor.
