thats correct your throwing the car in an open loop and you should see a po300 code which is a random miss fire. The rear O2's have no cause to the car running that way only the fronts. Although the rear will still throw the ses light till tuned out.

w/o o2s the PCM dumps fuel and runs constantly rich to aviod detonation. will it hurt the car? well, it might contaminate your oil w/ excess fuel but other than that you should be fine.
