I changed the rear after the cat. convertor oyxgen sensor . I couldnt get the car started. so i put the old one back on. still can't get the car started. I disconnected the negative terminal to clear the codes. I had the car running to heat the exhaust in hopes of trying to loosen the nut easier. when the nut broke loose the car stopped running. didn't think this was a problem so i swithed out the sensor. i put the old one back on. still cant get the car started.

the rear o2 has only 1 job, to monitor the cat activity. will not cause driveability issues or cause the car not to start

start with basics, compression, fuel pressure and spark.
