ok ca guys in need of some help.

first i had a heater hose to blow out.then i had a o2 wire to burn up ,y fault cause it came loose and grounded out. but know when i test drove it today it doesnt run right.when the car warms up it starts to shake and doesnt want to go until you get to about 3500 4000 rpms.so i think well my plugs might have gone bad.i changed them and it still does the same thing.it has rough idle and it wants to idle at 500 to 550rpm.can anyone tell me what might be wrong?do you think the o2 sensor needs to be swaped out?any info would be nice.

thanks another ca guy

if its anything like my car, its probably just that time of the month. wait a week and itll be fine.

the o2 sensor might have gotten fried or something when it grounded out.. try resetting the ecu as well, that short may have upset it.
