You should reconnect it. In the haynes manual it says that if it's not working correctly, it will cause rough idle and cause poor performance. I would actually try it and see what happens though, as they usually say that something bad will happen if you do anything with the emissions system. It's just to get you to not touch anything. Politics.

Maybe it would actually run better? Let us know how it goes.
