Default could it be o2's?

Car runs smooth in open loop but as soon as closed loop comes around, it hesitates off its ***. cant accellerate unless its floored, and it randomly runs fine for a few secs then goes back to crap. :/. Could it be the 02's going out? if so, can i disconnect the front o2's and run it? ive read some posts saying yes, i just want to be sure. any help is appreciated, i dont get paid til the 15th and i dont wanna keep driving it with the misfire.

Your car needs the front 02's to run properly. You can run it without the rear 02's but it will still throw an SES light. Do not run your car without the fronts. Are you throwing any codes??

i ran the obd on it last week and i had a random multiple misfire, o2 sensor heater circuit below operating temp, a few codes for the air! system being disconnected, and a coolant low temp reading but i had forgotten to reconnect the plug so that one went away. and if i ran with no o2's for a couple days after my header install and it ran pretty good...? i would figure the computer has to have some sorta safe mode in case the o2s go out that the engine can run on a base set air fuel reading maybe? just throwing that out there... your guess is as good as mine lol
