problems o2 sensor, abs, whats next?
Hey guys,
Recently my friend was a dumbass in installing my test pipe and twisted up the o2 sensor wires, so I had to replace it. before i replaced it, i had driven it for a day. that night my car wouldn't start and my battery was completely drained according to AAA. i bought a new battery at advance, put it in...(keep in mind the o2 isn't changed yet) and the next day the battery went out. so i got another one for free, but this time i didn't plug the batteries in because i was scared my car would drain the battery AGAIN.
today I finally changed out the secondary o2, put my o2 simulator back on (2 layer anti fouler) and the light is STILL on. i did ECU reset and everything.
i noticed that the new o2 sensor i bought (an OE fit one), the sensor itself is about almost 1/2in. diameter. so im thinking maybe it's not sensing enough, and that i should only use 1 layer antifouler?
and does this have anything to do with my battery?! why did my car seem to suck up both batteries?
also my ABS light stays on a bit longer on start up now...so im guessing i have brake problems as well...cruised by a cop at 101 last week..slowed down to 80...im just in a poop-hole right now with my car.
please help. thanks

couple things you need to make sure.
did you bored the antifouler so the o2 sensor can actually fit inside of it?
you mention cel, did you pull the code?
battery drain could be a number of things, check the charging system for a start.
when you said you brough the battery in advance, did you leave that thing on the floor for a month or two?
not sure about s2000, when the charging system took a dump in my acura, it actually tripped abs code with it. probably it's sensing a drop of power for the pump or something. (not sure of this one, but check the charging system first)
abs diagonsic check light lit longer than normal? by how long?
what brake probelm? explain.
no comment about the cop and poop hole part, just make sure only you die when you crush.
