Default Car is sputtering bad while driving.

Just replaced my 02 sensors and the car still drives rough. Its getting to much fuel and maybe missing. No check engine lights are on. The plugs are still good, replaced them 3 days ago.

What else could it be? Anything i can check and test?

Thanks.

Get a scan to see if the 02 sensors are working properly. At the dealership, not the orange scanners at the auto parts stores.

You sure you're getting too much fuel?

Unless you have a couple fuel injectors that took a **** and are letting alot more fuel in to a couple cylinders, or just one...the 02 sensor(s) are probably still the issue. Maybe bad wiring. They'll make you run very rich in some cases. I had a bad one a couple weeks ago and my gas was spitting out my exhaust pipes, raw.
