why would you change your battery, alternator , and fuse box to fix potentially broken speed sensor and o2 sensors...

Check whether fuse 15 is blown under the dash. You almost definitely have a short in the wire harness running behind the intake manifold. It's caused by the wire harness rubbing on the intake manifold bracket. It's a common problem. Carefully read the fuse 15 TSB in my signature. It will tell you how to repair the problem.

Clicking on Fuse 15 TSB does not redirect you to a link but instead downloads a PDF of the TSB.
