Default Limp mode and uses last good programmed fuel map
Should be fine if there was no air leak.

Default Should be fine if you drove at part throttle which allows the 02 sensor to be used
to adjust how much fuel is used.

Default yeah went easy on it. some maf wires got cut (!)
did some soldering at the track, but on the way home same prob. could be the maf though. it has 118k miles on it, I'll check later.
