I remember one of my former cars had a broken O2 sensor. The CEL did not illuminate neither, but I felt a noticeable loss of power and a horrible smell from the exhaust. Then I was told that the broken sensor did not send infos to the chip which calculated a wrong air/fuel mixture.

Yes, looks like. But I hope you don't ruin the engine. Good and safe drive!
