   Would not having O2 sensors cause the car to rev itself in neutral? Also revs itself with clutch In?

   I had no O2 sensors for months and it never did that. Sounds like your ICV, take it out and blast it with carb cleaner. Clean your throttle body whilst you're at it.

   I'd keep the O2 sensor in there, it will run really rich without it
