Default engine sensor fuse question

If you blow an engine sensor fuse, will the car still run? or will it run poorly? will it always set off a SEL?

Yes it will give you an SES code. The car will run but basically be in a "limp" mode because I'm pretty sure that fuse powers the MAF and all four 02's. You have any idea what's causing it to blow?
