I know of 3 people that had this exact thing happen to them  on 8 valve trackicks. Thats the fuse it blew and it was the 02. $50 or so to replace if you do it yourself. Double check and see if your o2 has 3 wires comming out of it. 2 wires will be the same color, they are the preheater. Those 2 wires can be cut and the o2 will still work, it just wont have a preheater.

Ya. I know

The pre heater or just heater
keeps the O2 sensor at a constant
temp, and gets it there faster so
emissions are lower, especially at
cold startup
;D

i dont really care about my emmissions :o so i think i will cut the 2 pre-heater wires and see if that works, or acutally ill take out the sensor for a bit and see if it works, if it does, i will cut the wires

Don't cut all of the wires  :o
your trucklet will run badly
and use too much gas, you
can cut the heater wires or
replace it with a 1 wire sensor
from a wrecked car, much cheeper
