If I disconnect, in theory it should stay closed, which would not necessarily effect my engine performance??
I *think* the default position is closed, so if that is the case, I'd expect that any rough engine behavior would go away. It'd be more similar to what it's like when you don't have your code being thrown. Obviously, it'll throw other codes now instead. Generally speaking, the ill effects of the closed position are less than the open position though, I'd probably do what you're planning until I got the replacement.
