Default O2 sensor Question

I'm have a problem with my O2 sensors. The car goes full rich both banks between 30-40 mph low rpm. Is there any way of telling which one of the 4 is going bad? Its an intermitten problem but gettig worse. Charley at RPM looked at some data I sent him and thinks they are slow to respond. Thanks, Laurence

I changed the front O2 sensors to see if that fixes it. I'll let you know.
