Sounds more like a power problem like batt going flat or bad connections somewhere.
What was your Voltmeter reading when you had problems?
If batt voltage goes too low, the computer will shut down.

No

If the computer doesn't see the O2 sensor ,engine will appear to run fine ; except your fuel economy will be cr*p.
