Uhhhh if you're talking about the front o2, yes that is definitely your problem lol. But if you're talking about the rear o2, you better keep searching for another reason.

Yeah without front O2 sensors, the car will run terrible. The car will put a lot of fuel in to ensure it doesn't go lean. I would get some extensions in asap!

Especially if there's nothing plugged in, that means there is fresh air being sucked into the exhaust before the cat.....no bueno
