....(your headers installer) may have reversed the front right & left 02 sensor connections when they reconnected them...it's easy to do, as they do hook-up in a reversed arrangement from what appears is correct hook up arrangement ...this causes the PCM to do some weird things trying to correct this situation.
...of course, if this is not the case, as in Mission Impossible: "the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of this advice"....

I have Stainless Works LTHs on my 02 and had lots of problems with front 02 sensor codes. I finally got a pair of rear 02 sensor adapters from LG Motorsports and put rear sensors in the front. No more problems. May be what you need. Also suggest that you use AC Delco sensors - not Bosch.

I am in the middle of my LG long tube install, just so I am clear in my understanding;
The front sensors are placed in the bungs on the side of their respective connector, the rear sensors are connected by crossing the sensor into the bung opposite of the side the connector.
The bungs for the rear 02 sensors are still installed to the rear of the cats.
Correct??

It’s just so the wires/connectors don’t have to make a 180 deg bend. Installed the right rear sensor wires point to the left side and the left rear sensor wires point to the right side. I’m sure there is a picture somewhere on the forum. Its just a cleaner way to run the wires.
