Default car stumbles temp guage works only randomly

1991 Honda Accord LX 5 spd
No CEL comes on

Well this morning on my way to work i pulled my car out of the garage got it into the driveway and blah blah blah dead, its just completely lost power i wiggled my negative battery terminal and everything came back on and i tightened everything down...now my car stumbles randomly and the temp guage only works randomly and i notice it i go into second at around 40mph and throw some torque down the temp guage works so i was wandering if it could be my O2 sensor seeing that it runs fine and temp guage works when the motor is pretty much tilting there was a A/F guage on this car when i got it maybe the wire finally broke all the way?

Check out the wiring to the O2 sensor. But I don't think it would explain going completely dead. Maybe there's more than one thing going on...
