My new wheels are 18's front & back with a 35 profile up front and a 30 in the rear so that shouldn't upset my ABS. I noticed this when I put my 18's on the front & my 16's in the rear just to move my car around untill I got the new tires. And the vibration I noticed right after my 02 sensor wire disconected itself then it all went to hell.

About 2 weeks ago I was driving the car home on a Friday night, the car felt sluggish and started to back-fire. The next day I found that a few spark plug wires were arching so I zip-tied them to hug the block and get away from the headers. The car ran fine after that.

Maybe another week later I sold my 17's and I put my 18's on up front and my stock 16's in the rear and drove it around like that for a day and things were fine. Then the following night it began to feel sluggish again and as I was driving home again (Sunday night), and all my warning lights came on as I was coming off an exit ramp. I got under the car and noticed that the 02' sensor had unplugged itself from the extension.

Last Thursday I plugged it back in, reset the computer and was off on the road again. I immediately noticed something was wrong because is was lagging in power again. I had to go to school so I babied it on local roads to get it to school. I noticed that my power was surging possible from a worn alternator so I had replaced that yesterday. I started driving and everything seemed ok, but the heavy vibration in the clutch was still present and a little bit further down the road all my brake related lights came on so i turned it around and it died in the street.

I have no idea whats wrong and I would really like to get this fixed ASAP.

I know the rear brakes are worn probably gone but could they have locked up?
