Default Bad O2 sensors?

On a cold start my car idles fine. However, on a warm start it is awful! The RPMs are erratic, drop down 500 or so and of course it'll try to die. So tonight I hooked up my basic OBD-2 scanner to monitor the O2 values while it idled. They didn't leave the 350-400mv mark very often. Now if I were to give it some throttle, they'd bump to 800-1000mv. But at idle they were very low & steady. Didn't move around a lot. During this it threw a P0134 code (with no engine light) - no activity detected. Turning wrenches is one thing, but diagnosing issues.... leaves me confused. Anyone have insight into this?

No cats. Long tube headers. Rear O2s have been eliminated. Fronts are what is left.

Try switching the back o2's to the front maybe?
