Will a LT1 run without the O2s hooked up?

I tried to start it without them hooked up to see if the car would even run, i think it is bad gas but can it be this? I doubt it but i figgured it is worth asking, i done feel like crawling under my junk till wednsday.

I thought so, just hoping....i am sure it is bad gas, i spray fuel into the intake and it sputters and then just turns over, i am sure ut us due to pulsing in bad fuel so it doesnt do more than sputter a bit with the good gas sprayed in.

But it would still run, just rich...well, i think ill direct connect the fuel pump to the battery to get the fuel out, that'll work.

It will definitely run. You will just get bad gas mileage and it will feel like it doesn't have as much power.

If I remember right, the PCM doesn't use the O2 sensors until the car is in "closed loop" under normal operation anyways.
