Ill probably find out tomorrow when its light what happened but anyone have an ide wtf just happened?

Wiring may have melted after installation against one of the extractors?
Any CEL?

Yeah I think they can dissable them when it's tune. I think they can cancell the ones after the cats with a maffed and both with a maffless. I'm probably wrong though, can anyone confirm that?
My oxys are giving me trouble too.

When you installed the new one,did you use any grease at all on the threads as anything with silicone in it will poison it quicker than you think,or have you been dosing up the fuel with injector cleaner which is not compatible with O2 sensors.But for it to fail almost instantly sounds like the connector is not making contact

Or it hasnt sealed properly and is drawing air into the exhaust making the car think its running lean. ECM will crank up fuel trims to compensate.
