Default Pulled Codes and suspect Oxy Sensor

On my way home from school today i was on the parkway doing about 60 when my car just shut off. I pulled to the side jiggled the fuel pump relay fuse heard the hissing and started my car right back up. The Check Engine light is now on and i pulled a code of *2-3-2 if i remember correctly. This means the Oxygen Sensor or leaking fuel injectors. But also when i first went to pull a code i put the wire into the #2 hole and i heard a loud ticking sound comming from the middle of the engine, and i cant figure it out.
Thanks

Look at the fuel pump relay.The production date is stamped on it. If it is original I would replace it ASAP.

232 most of the time means a vaccum leak. I know many books tell different things but they all lead to a vaccum leak.

If you really want to check the O2 sensor If you have a 1 wire sensor you can test it very easy with a voltmeter.

The ticking im not sure about.

Tech, i found some on ebay brand new for a good price, so i will be getting a new one soon. You said something about a vacume leak? Where would this be located? Hoses? What should i do to fix the leaks, if any?

You can spray around with carb. cleaner with the car running.Listen for an idle change and then there is a leak.
Check all hoses and the intake manifold at the engine.
