O2 Sensor
After I had my exhaust put on my car, I noticed that the check engine light was on. The code was the O2 sensor. I looked for the connection under the hood and found that the end running from the exhaust was one bare wire that had been stuffed into the end that runs out of the harness. So i have one of the stock ends and an end that just bare wire meshed together to try and form a connection. Obviously this isnt working. What's the best way to fix this?

Replace the connectors with something else. Preferably WeatherPack style, but almost anything will do as long as they are properly insulated (heat shrink tubing).
Remember that the O2 wire to the ECU is shielded so make sure to make your connection to the inner wire and not the shield.

Ok so i'm just going to need to find some new connectors. I'll see if any local hardware stores have any, thanks!

You can find common male/female spade connector to crimp on the wires at ANY auto store plus WALLMART. Or you could just butt splice them together. Or you could solder them together and install shrink tubing over the joint. You MAY NOT twist them together and put electrical tape over the mess. Tacky

bad idea... it'd be like trying to secure a front bumper with hair.
