Default he he...the car is dead...any help?

...now i did it...i was adjusting the fuel again and i took it out on the road it was sounding sad so i took it home and i was thinking i probably had it up in another gear so i punched it at got8 psi(i did not blow the engine)...any ways i get half way up the drive and the check engine light flashes. i did not think much of it because of the fact i still dont have a bung welded on for the o2 sensor not that it's been complaining about that...but i get up to my parking spot and the car dies...it has no fuel psi at allnow...when i turn the key to acc. the psi go's up but drains back to zero...what the hell do i do to fix this?

you dont actually need a downstream 02 sensor....i havent had one hooked up for over 20,000 miles....i just cut the wires off the sensor and screwed it into the whole as a plug....works great

or you can just turn the key to ign. on then off 3 times and the car will display the code the good old annalog way. it like reading morse code. the check engine light will start flashing and give you number readouts. like it will flash 5 times and stop for a second and then flash 5 more times then stop for like 5 seconds thats a code 55. (just an example, code 55 is a pass code i think).
