I would look into things a little bit further because to lose two 02 sensors, on different sides anyway, at the same time is a hell of a coincidence. Same side I can see. But two have failed before at the same time, just saying check into a little bit.
Get a live scan to see if they are NOT switching properly. If they're not, get two new sensors. They're cheap....$33.00 each for the best ones....Densos.
You can change them yourself in minutes, just have to get the front end off the ground, or jack up each side separately. All you need is a crescent wrench.
.
Oh....and STOP flooring it with the engine running like that....you could completely destroy the internals with misfiring and sputtering going on and you go wide open throttle.
Drive it very casually and nicely till you get it fixed.

BUT....like me and "wssix99" have said earlier....look into other things first. Definitely try cleaning the MAF...just spray it, DO NOT touch the sensors inside the MAF with anything, just spray it like crazy. You cannot over spray it. I use like a 1/4 can all over it. Spray it through the screen all over it and also clean the whole screen. Also, while its off spray the hell out of the IAT sensor thats in the lid. Then spray the hell outta the TB blade whole its full open as to clean the side walls all the way around the TB opening. I just spray it all then use my fingers to wipe it all clean, then spray it again to rinse it.
And yes.....if you have a K&N filter....lose it. Get a Mann paper filter from rockauto.com....they are friggin awesome, built very strong, and cheap. I just got mine the other day to try. Great paper filter.
