car runs realy bad

help somebody.

a fe
w days ago a hole in the lower radiator hose decided to leak out all of my antifreeze, the car then died in an intersection and when it did it sounded like a diesle after you shut it off. when i looked under the car i found a sensor melted off and hanging by the starter i later found out that it came from a sensor above the knock sensro but the plugs look the same. since then it runs like crap. acceleration is bad feels low on power and just has this real bad rattle to it that stops when i step on the trottle.

any ideas of what the sensor i melted is or how to fix my problem would be helpful.

oh the sensor is on the passenger side and is between the last two exhaust pipes coming off of the mantifold under the heat sheilding.
