Aside from the obvious annoying SES light, it'll mess with the air fuel mix (probably give you crappy MPG) IIRC the default program is rich so you don't burn up a cyl

O2 sensors are what determine how much gas goes in. So like 2K2WS6TA, you will probaly get bad gas milage.

You said bank 2, but is it sensor 1 or sensor 2? Sensor 2 refers to the rear O2, which shouldn't affect fuel. If it's pre-cat as 2001NBMZ28 said, then it should be fixed asap. Check the parts for sale section. I've seen them on there for cheap. Should be an easy fix.
