yup! i was starting to think it was an 02 when i read that you changed plugs, and had same problem. i think ima have to change my o2s aswell. SES light came on, and said both banks are running lean

I've got a very similar problem. I've also replaced my 02's, spark plug wires, and fuel filter. I guess I'm going to have to pull the plugs and inspect them.

i hear densos are the best. since they wont fry after using higher then 91-93 octane.

I've heard a lot of bad things about Bosch. So, I'd stay away from those. Either go to sparkplugs.com and pick up some Denso OE identical o2 sensors for $37 a piece, or some guy is selling sets of 2 Delco o2 sensors on camaroz28.com for $60shipped here: http://camaroz28.com/forums/showthread.php?t=578363.

ah gay. i just got the 13111 bosch 02s. longer wires tho so no need for extensions. napa lifetime warranty lol

also found out that a failing Engine Coolant Sensor can cause the car to run like **** as well and lead to the failing of the drivers side 02 sensor.

thats next on my list of parts.

who loves their ls1?! cuz this month i dont.

I had a code for one or both banks running lean, don't remeber which one now, but I cleaned my MAF sensor with MAF cleaner and it took care of the problem and the car seemd to run more consistent as well.

the one by the headers right? you can get that at your local parts store! we got one at autozone. cuz we broke it tightening the new heads down.

yee! lol i called every parts store and dealership in about a 25mile radius and no one had one. sucked. ordered it and itll be here on sat. dont want to install the 02s yet and drive cuz nick at newtech said that would be a reason why they were getting clogged up!

argh. and i keep reading bad **** about bosch 13111s failing yada yada. should i just return them and dish out the extra credit card dollars for delcos?

replaced the driver side o2. it was a bosch 13111. passenger side was a ac delco so i just left it. drove for about 25miles, ses light turned off. no more hesitation. little bit of a rough idle still. but the major problem solved! lol
