No start for the last 2 months on my 89-745,,,sorry Volvo It wasn't your FAULT!!!

I've been having the worst luck w/cars lately.
Since about 3 months ago I have been working a real lot&have not had the time to figure out what was REALLY CAUSING THE NO START&STALLING PROBLEM ON MY 745 WAGON.
I have got to start writing down a diary of every little change I make w/ any car.
I got a new header from FCP&had a local cheapo muffler shop install it.
THE F@CKING MORONS FORGOT TO REISTALL THE OXYGEN SENSOR &JUST LEFT IT HANGING UNDERNEITH THE CAR WHERE IT DRAGGED ON THE GROUND&GOT CHEWED UP ON THE PAVEMENT.BECAUSE THE OXY.SENSOR WAS NO LONGER SENDING A VALID SIGNAL THE CAT GOT CLOGGED UP BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING IN THE LIMP HOME MODE.
I missed 4 days at work that cost me about $500&had to get towed home for $100&renteda car for 10 days @$360&then the JO finally fired me&I got time to replace the $125 fuel pump that I thought was the problem.
It would not start until I pulled the plug out of the header&relieved the pressure&THEN IT STARTED RIGHT UP ON THE FIRST TURN.
WHAT PEABRAIN IDIOTS IT TAKE S TO JSUT NOT FINISH A SIMPLE JOB!!!
SORRY VOLVO,,,&TO THINK i WAS GOING TO JUNK THE CAR....!!!!!
