Default Help! p1153!!! again and again

Every month I keep getting the service engine soon light about every 30 days. I have longtubes, new fuel pump, cutouts and a tune. I don't want to tune the code out I just want to figure out why it keeps happening. I've replaced the o2 sensors 3 times in the last 4 years...I'm stumped. Please help, thanks!

from what i saw on google its a slow response code.most likely its caused due to heat. i have researched these codes due to having them my self.from my understanding its cause because your front o2 sensors do not get enough heat from your exhaust due to being father down stream like by your collecters and not 4-5 inches prom an exhaust port.also from my understanging you need to delete it via tune if you want it to stay away.
my car does it no matter what. i just put new vette o2s in today and im sure that code will be back again by tomorow.hope this helps

Buy the spark plug sleeves and place them over the 02 sensors right up the nut. They keep the heat in the sensor - I have used them for years now and while I used to get the code regularly, I now get it only rarely - on very cold days.
