I wouldn't run without an O2 sensor anyways. Since those things are in Millivolts, I would say that you need a new sensor and not use a butt connector.

If one of the oxygen sensor wires is cut - the Computer WILL turn on the Check Engine Light.

The fix couldn't be simpler - if the cut is on the oxygen sensor side of the electrical connector - simply replace that oxygen sensor. If the cut is on the chassis side of the connector - you're going to need to solder the wire back together. I highly recommend using heat shrink tubing over the solder joint to keep moisture at bay. As aklim said - this is not the place for a crimp on butt connector ...

Last AFS 21 (O2 sensor) I bought was $21 so it is not a big deal. Go ahead and replace both while you are at it.
