Engine Problem...

Sup guys! I did this 2 things before my engine has this problem oil change, air/feul gauge tapped on oxygen sensor.
Everytime I start my car 1 minute after it rattles and looses its power, rattles and I can hear the noise of air sucking through my air intake. Is that probably the effect of the two things I did?

Disconnect the guage and see if it runs any better... if so then theres your problem.

i dont think that is causing the problem since he is only tapping into a sensor to read it. I have a A/F guage as well and have no problems.

i did disconnect the air/fuel gauge and it works. Does that mean I can't tap any air/fuel gauge?

i have a pac gugage. tamping a sensor to read it will not cause that problem. I followed the a/f guage DIY exactly and I am having no problems. This is on a 2k1 with 119k for miles. I think you need to check elsewhere.
