ECM

Other half of it should be somewhere nearby

Might have something to do with your Check Engine light

I guess we messed up bad, we thought the other end of that wire went to the 02 sensor so we put in an extension to the wiring harness because since I have headers now we thought that was causing it to not be long enough. So where can I find the other end of the 02 sensor wire? It seems to be missing

If you somehow managed to plug the O2 sensor into that wire, you probably smoked it.

Better get yourself a new sensor in that case.
