Default a wtf thread

hey everybody been a while since i been on here. i am lost as hell on what is wrong with my car now. it started when i went to a car meet about 30 miles from home. one the way back while cruizing it started to intermitently studdar and act like it lost all power. a few times the gauges would jump around and get stuck at random places. this seems to happen while cruising, under part and WOT, under vacume or boost so basically at any time. i did the ol' key turning code read trick and got a code for the 02 sensor, and a batery disconect code.

other symptoms i have wich may be realated is if i turn the car off after a drive and start it back up its like it doesnt want to run.. if i give it a little throttle it will sputter for a few sec and the will idle fine. sometimes when you take off it will spudder then accelerate. im lost . sometimes it will run fine for hours. then it will just start acting up and back and forth pissing me off lol.

here is a crappy video of it happening at the end of 3rd gear. i had speedo disconected . right before you hear the BOV you can here it kinda pop.. most of the sound it the car "jerking" and it loosing all acceleration not detonation or backfire. i let out as soon as it happened. i will be taking more sample videos of it.



PLEASE HELP BEFORE I BURN THE CAR LOL

ok and here is the clip from 2 min later riping the drag radials apart in 2nd more spin in bottom of third and settling down before 4th. all while runing retard fat on the wideband. take more fuel from it and i dont think id hook at all in third. originally made the clips for a guy on srtforms to hear but again the problem wouldnt really come out on video and it didnt act up much that day.

i thought the car only reads the O2's and cruising and prat throttle. or am i thinking the wrong car. because if this was true wouldnt that cancel it out because it happens under WOT also. i pulled the codes again today and only two were evap purge and ECT.

Not sure how to test the o2 witha voltmeter, but def a chance a wire or such is loose.
