Default !EGR & !AIR Quick Question...

So I'm taking my egr and air this weekend and wont be able to have the pcm codes tuned out until next weekend (hopefully). Either ways my question is will my car run like sheot due to these missing or should it be fine with just my ses light chilling on till I get the codes tuned out? I'm gonna me running the car with these missing for at least a week maybe longer... I just want to make sure I'm doing real no harm to my engine I suppose. Also did you guys just tape up the sensors for egr and air. Thanks yall!

Just electrical tape the ends of the plugs. I did my best to re-route and hide them too. Having FRC's helps alot for hiding the plugs.

I drove mine around minus AIR and EGR for at least a week before I got my tune, and didn't have any problems.

Yeah it will be fine as long as you have the front O2's plugged in. It will just throw a few codes

Get them out of there, and don't worry about the SES light. I drove for a month or so with the light on. It will in no way effect your performance. Make sure to plug your intake manifold where the EGR was removed.
