What mods do you have, and what (if any) has been done to you neon? On a whim, I'd say your car needs a tune up. New plugs, oil change, pcv, check tire pressure, and I am sure your intake manidold is filthy on the inside thanks to the EGR.

Reconnect your 02. There is no reason to just disconnect a sensor. Your PC sees a problem, so correct it.
