do i fix this? I cut the catalytic converter off my 1997 firebird now it wont even turn over how do i fix this?
actually in my state if your car is 10 years or older it is not illegal to remove the C.C. I re-hooked the sensor up

you still have to have the O2 sensors hooked up or the fuel injection will not have a reference reading to work off of without the converter it will have a false reading in the post cat O2 sensor which could cause a rich condition .. why would you remove the converter if it was still good ??
there is No reason to remove a good converter it would not effect performance with it removed no matter what you may have heard ..
