Unhappy P0140 code and no power? After installing RR TB and airgap??

So I just finished the install of RR, 52mm TB and hughes airgap, Started it up and gave it a lil while drove it down the road I have no power " I did manage to break my kickdown cable but that shouldnt matter for off the line." I'm just dumb founded and pissed, what did I do wrong or is it just because its running to rich that I dont have power? Any suggestions would be nice please. The code says its a 1/2 O2s staying on center WTF does that mean? just long term for running to rich?

O2 sensor code shouldn't effect the way the engine runs, it is whining about the post-cat O2. Staying on center means it isn't doing anything at all... so, probably a failed sensor. (or it isn't plugged in tight?)

Is the engine running smooth? Can you get it going fast enough to hit O/D, and TCC lockup? If you can, is the engine STILL smooth? Got power in the higher RPM range?

i was going to type my thoughts, but this works better

but if you got a problem with a o2 your truck is going to run rich, computer thinks is better to run rich then lean, which it is,

did you reset your computer after all your installs? The comp may take time to relearn all the new components and adjust.

Im getting more and more power each time I start the truck again, im going to buy new 02 sensors if that doesnt fix it im ganna have to pull the cat off idk how it could get plugged but it might have. As far as the bypass hose goes no I didnt know were it went and my injectors dont seem to be leaking. I went to get a new hose and no dealer has ever heard of it. I need help bad mowing season is coming and this thing needs to be running top notch.

I think lastrights is referring to the hose that goes from one side of the fuel rail, to the other. Dealer probably won't be able to get that for ya.......

That actually fits that hose how lol. Or would any hose work? Can I just pull the old one off and put that one on?
