Probably feel really sluggish and your mileage would blow. You'd eventually throw a ses light if even one was actually bad.

did you make sure that you didn't crack a plug during the install? you might also check to make sure the plug wires are all the way on the coil packs

^^^ What he said, check the plugs for tiny cracks and check the wire connections. if you arent throwing a front O2 code then your o2's arent the cause of your problem.

to answer that question, since when I first installed my LT, I wasn't paying attention and hooked up the rear 02 data cables to the front 02 sensors (as if i had no front 02's the entire time, so the computer is running off of a standard, generic number) it ran sluggish, and after about a week or so, it started back firing like no one's business because it was dumping so much fuel into the lines.. i corrected the problem, and it is much more responsive

How did you know? I want to check and see if I did this. Autozone told me I had a bad front and a bad back one. Which is dumb, because I should have two bad back ones and no bad front ones, you know?

Which is the front ones? Bank 1? Or, are the banks from left to right?
