Check the fuses. If you cut the harness going to an oxygen sensor while the engine was running, you would have shorted out the 12 volts that feeds the heaters in those sensors. That would blow the same fuse that feeds the ignition coil and injectors. You shouldn't even be thinking about replacing a bunch of other parts. They didn't go bad all of a sudden. You're adding a bunch more variables.
