Ok I had to replace my o2 sensor, so I bought it and it came with only three wires so I took the old clip off the old sensor ran the two white wires and the black. Now there was a grey wire and I ran that direct, did I do it right?

no, you need to take the universal o2 sensor back and get the direct fit sensor. it is specific to your car. universals are not vehicle specific and rarely work
