New clutch, new problems
progress
Wagonist
So, I picked up my car from the shop yesterday where I had my new clutch replaced. I bought the clutch from Clutch City Online as suggested in a previous thread. Since picking up the wagon, I've already logged on about 250 miles. The first 120 miles saw the wagon driving fine. The next 130 miles is where my problems began.
1. Driving to work this morning, the car seemed to lose power on any sort of uphill. Downshifting didn't solve anything, just felt like I was going even slower. I trudge on in to work.
2. Driving home, about 15 miles into my 60 mile drive home, I get a CEL. Check the ECU and I get a Code 1. O2 sensor I think? Pick up my boys from soccer and I get the CEL again. I get home and pull out the hazard fuse, wait a few minutes, pop it back in and go for a drive. Nothing's changed. Same bogging issues. Going uphill seems even slower!
3. After popping open the hood, I notice the front tranny mount isn't even bolted to the engine bay. I don't think this could be the cause of my bogging issues right?
So, I'm pretty pissed. The car was running fine before I had clutch issues. Now I get a new clutch and this problem. Any suggestions? I didn't really look all that well, but maybe the ground from the tranny wasn't put back? Anything else?
Thanks in advance!

Clutch cable is tight and good.
O2 sensor is plugged in.
After driving in the boat (aka 1986 Cutlass Ciera) in to work today, the wagon stayed home. When I came home, I reset the ECU again and then got no more codes, just a single flash and then nothing. That's good right? Let the car run for a good 25 minutes and then took it for another drive before dropping it off at the shop. Same results, no power when climbing. It's suggested in the manual to check the pressure regulator and possibly the fuel filter. I haven't changed the filter at all since getting the car. Anyways, hopefully it's nothing big. Plus, the shop has to bolt up the front tranny mount, so while it's there they should be able to figure it out. Thanks for all the suggestions.
