No idea about the reverse. It should not affect the car after you plug it back in. Sounds like maybe a wire came out on the o2? Try looking there first

No idea about reverse but why not try reseting your PCM yourself and see if it makes a difference. Search for how to do it on here.

See if the harness got burnt/melted somewhere - the 02 sensors are on the same circuit as the MAF/skip shift/reverse lockout...check the ENG SEN fuse for an open.

After my LT install that happened to me too.. Thought i messed up a wire or something.. I took off the upper console and shifter top and wd40'd all the shifter parts that moved and now it works like a dream.

Good deal. Just being unplugged won't fry the fuse, so if it happens again look at the harness.

Man that is why i love this forum. I changed out my O2 sensor a week ago b/c it was shorting out but it still was not running right. I just went out and my eng sensor fuse was blown. I cannot wait to go for a drive tomorow and see if this helps out. I am sure it will. SO what does this fuse affect?
