If you leave it, you'll be driving in limp mode forever since the CEL code is not resolved. I'm not sure what's the long term effect driving in limp mode forever besides not having any fun since the engine is only running half of its power or something to that effect.

I'm having this problem right now and so far an ecu update and swapping the cam sensors haven't helped so it looks like an ecu replacement is next.
