Car Question......
My oxygen sensor is hanging from the bottom of my car and I am still driving it. How bad is this for my car and can it cause any other damage. The car is really loud and the check engine light it on, but it still does drive. I cant get it fixed till saturday. If there anything I can do temporarily. I climber under there and can figure out where the damn thing fell out of. Also I now understand why women dont repair cars. There is not much room for boobs under there 
i dont think it should be that big of a deal if you're getting it fixed saturday.
if its hanging, i would suggest to secure it, but its not that big of a deal if you are replacing it soon.
i hope car i'm thinking of getting today doesn't have things falling off it 
Its nothing thats gonna hurt your car. But it def will not pass inspection without it.
youll get shitty gas mileage.

Do you get a CEL?

hahaha, just kidding about that.
the oxygen sensor being off won't ruin your car, but it will make it noisey and you might get crappy gas mileage, also it will trip up the computer and you may get a check engine or other warning light.
yea what everyone else said: it wont ruin ur car or anything...
it will give u horrible gas mileage tho and you will probably get a CEL
Well I got the repairs done to my car. They said the reason it came out of the catalytic converter was due to rust and they welded it back in. and I got my axle replaced all for under $120 thanks to the shea Staduim junk yard auto shops Those people down there are like money starved laborers and will do any work for damn near any price.
However the CEL is still on so I prob need a tune-up too.

does the car run better now? cause u cant necessarily just weld the o2 back in and have it be normal again. if it came out there is a decent chance that the little thimble-looking cap on the end of it came off, they are very delicate. that would probably be causing the CEL to still be on, in which case the o2 sensor probably isnt working correctly at all...
The car is running better and no lounger makes that loud noise. The cap was still on the o2 sensor. How sensitive is it? It banged against the bottom of my car a couple times when I hit potholes before he welded it back in. If its damaged I guess I will worry about it when I see a problem again. Like I said before, the car is not all that to begin with so I am just doing the bare minimum to keep it running.
