ESP8266 01 does not start when connected to ultrasonic

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rpjpHniTR330F0D3m1lxA5SzcaypDreM?usp=sharing I have this schematic and the code. When I connect the male to male usb cable to both ends then power the system up. The blue LED turn on and ESP8266-01 does not appear on the browser by 192.168.8.160/distance. When I disconnect the cable from any side then power the system up, ESP8266-01 turns on normally, appears in the browser with IP, then I connect the cable to ultrasonic, everything is fine, I can see the readings on browser.The problem is I must connect both ends of cable on start, ESP8266-01 does not response, Kindly help me. I don’t understand.. what is wrong.  ?
