It's problems like these that lead me to recommend that people don't mess with cutting wires - anywhere. If your car starts running rough or you have problems down the road, you will be guessing up the wazzou whether or not it's with the O2 sensor, or not.
If you do more research, you may find out that the wires to the O2 sensor are special, and that cutting them or breaking them (and adding resistance) may impede their readings. There was a few posts on this BBS a while ago about how some Bosch expert told one of the members here that story. Sounds implausible to me, but I tried some things with the O2 sensor on my truck (basically the same thing), and the computer didn't like it.
My opinion is biased, of course, because we sell the OEM parts, but my recommendation hands down is to not mess with cutting any wires and using an aftermarket sensor not designed to be used with the 911. Cutting wires is just asking for trouble...
