The damn connection busted off the wire while I was taking the old sensor off so I spliced and soldered the sensor wire into the cars harness. My car is slow as molasses now and am wondering if the resistance is out of spec without the connectors.

No, there's no repair wire. Honestly, you should just go ahead and replace the sensor.

The sensor is brand new. I had to cut the connector off to solder the wires together. The wiring harness is very brittle, if i bend a wire it just snaps off. ECM has been reset 3 times now

You didn't accidentally solder part of or all of the shield wire with the sensor wire did you?
