Car throwing codes. Help.
P0135 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (B1, S1)
P1131 - Manufacturer Control Fuel Air Metering
I've pinpointed the problem. It's the first sensor on the passenger side. My question is, would this sensor malfunctioning cause a MASSIVE loss in torque, and misfiring?

Yes, a bad O2 sensor will give you the problems you are having.

By the time I got to bed it was 1:30 AM, I had to wake up at 4:15 AM, that's why lol.
The wires are going to be fine, there's not much more you're going to get from an electrical store. They may, or may not, carry the wires, but when it comes to the splicing you're still going to have to use the crimp sleaves and liquid tape, there is just no other way than that for your application. Like I said, remove the damn O2, cut one of the lines, see if it's stranded or solid wire. If it's stranded you have what you need, if it's solid (which I highly doubt) then you'll have to get the right wire. All you have to do is get a knife out, cut the rubber jacket off the wire, take out one strand at a time, cut it to the size you need it, remove around 1/2" of the protective jacket, insert it into the sleave, do the same for the O2 part, and crimp them together, then once they're all done, run the liquid tape all over the sleave and back 1 1/2" behind the crimp connection to seal it from the water, once it drys do it again to make sure. Then use the clams, or not, your choice, to keep everything in one spot and stop it from comming in contact with your exhaust.
Oh, just to let you know, the wire you bought is the same wire used to run stoves, some A/C units, water heaters, so don't think it's cheap wire, that crap can handle some voltage if need be.
Like I said, you already have everything.

Well what I did was went out and bought an extended O2 sensor (19"), but it still JUST misses. My dads friend is an electrician, so he is currently splicing the old wires with the new ones. We're going to wire it around the exhaust because the materials we got from Home Depot are most likely not going to hold up to all the heat radiating off of the headers. I figure he knows what he's doing enough to trust him - should be done by tonight.
