there is no way to fix the 02. But if the wire was broke or burnt, your check engine light would be on for sure. unless your check engine light bulb is burnt out... to check turn the key on without starting the car, and see if its there. simple. to me it sounds you need new spark plugs and wires... depending on when the last time you did plus, maybe just wires. Do a thourough visually inspection, even take them off and look at them. also, clean your MAF for the hell of it. with "MAF cleaner" at napa. that stuff is good to have in stock anyway.
