Default o2 sensors trouble

I recently change my clutch so I had to disconnect and remove the mufflers, after I installed the clutch and reinstalled the muffler my check engine came on, so I took it to AutoZone and they told me it was sensor 2 bank 2 so I bought it and replaced it and the check engine light still didn’t go off, so I took it to AutoZone again and now they told me that all my sensor are bad even the one I had just replaced, and I have an EVAP code as well, has anyone gone through this before or does any body now what it could be I would appreciate any suggestions

Well what were the codes ( I need P0xxx)

It's possible the you have squished a wire in the 02 sensor harness near the trans cross member.. I've seen it a few times. People get codes for 02s, they replace em and still get the same code.

I had the "Pinched Wire" problem and it was F$#%ing hassle. Get the code reset, and if it continues to come back, then check for your wiring problems immediately. You may have to look pretty deep to find all the wire frays. I found one, fixxed it and sure enough, there were more frayed wires deeper in the harness.

Hope this helps.
PS: Autozone codes are only partially what you need to fix a problem, take it to a REAL shop for answers.

You messed up somewhere with the tranny wiring harness. That sensor is in the tranny harness. I doubt the sensor is bad.

Have them ohms check all of the leads and solenoids. If all of them are good then its the sensor... take it back.
