The heat generated by the converter can back up into the engine and damage it. Cause it to overheat, blow a head gasket or damage the heads.

What is an oxygen sensor used for?

The oxygen sensor reports live information about the engine's air/fuel mixture to the powertrain control module, (Computer). This information is used primarily to help calculate fuel delivery to the engine, which changes continuously while it is running. If the engine is running lean, the powertrain control module will sense this from the oxygen sensor's signal and increase the air/fuel mixture to the engine. Conversely, just the opposite occurs when the engine begins to run rich. On OBDII-equipped vehicles, the sensors are also used to help determine the efficiency of the catalytic converter. The powertrain control module does this by comparing the signal of the sensor located at the inlet of the catalytic converter with the signal of the sensor located at the outlet of the converter.
