Default car runs funny FIXED!!

hey all!!

after a slight accident i had....with a curb....i pulled my old headers off, and put some new ones on (Edelbrock victor series, LT) in that same time, i replaced the spark plugs, i didn't need to but when i took one out i sorta broke it

went and got the collectors welded to the Y pipe (no more leaks)

i just noticed the other day when i was getting on the highway, pushing on the gas the car felt like it was dieing out, or sputtering, (possible missfire) i saw my SES light start flashing....

i gave it a second and it smoothed out....i figured it fixed it self cause it didn't do it after that, until a few days later...its done it multiple times since then...

i just bought some Bosch plug wires and replaced all of those, but i still ran into the same problem,

im running out of ideas, i havn't had anyone hook their computer up to it yet to see what codes were being thrown, i probably should do that but i wanted to see if anyone has ran into the same issue.

P0154 02 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 2 Sensor 1)
P0155 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 1)

yea i think those were from before because the tard who put the o2 bungs put them on the Y pipe instead of in the collector...

so i have them in the collector now....

trying to get ahold of the guy who tuned my car, maybe he can retune it
