In theory. But IIRC there have been isolated cases of not having that sensor made them run whacky. There is a difference in having a code for a bad sensor and not having one at all.

Here are my thoughts on that O2 sensor. They only show codes if they have a break in the wiring or the heater in them is shot. I am assuming you have a three wire sensor in. I know you probably...
Where is the O2 in relation to the muffler?
Do you have a cat and a pipe behind it?
But you are getting a code for the upstream. Better check the wiring. Did you clean that IAC port?
One will be for the downstream sensor for sure, the 141 code. You may also have a bad upstream sensor. If it hasn't been changed in forever, better change it too. As for idle, pull the Idle Air...
