How to find an exhaust leak?
The before cat after cat o2's are the same part but what do you mean "just sitting out there"?
YOU NEED TO FIX YOUR o2'S ASAP!!!!! If you leave them open to the elements they will die.. Not to mention- the front ones are the ones that control your A/F.. The rear "after cat" o2s are the ones that monitor how efficient the cats are working. They read a little different than the front.. If you have the front's just hanging out there you will be running richer than **** b/c your o2s are coming back LEAN..

Verdad Gallardo Seafom is like $8 a can. It's good ****.. The easiest way to do it and get it to do it's job is to take something and stick it in your throttle stop so that the car idles at 13-1500rpm and then take the vaccum line off your fuel pressure regulator and use that line to SLOWLY sip the seafoam out of the can and into the intake manifold. ( 2 reasons to use the fpr hose- 1 so that the fuel pressure increases and pushes more fuel to mix with the seafoam, 2 the goes doesn't cause a significant vaccum leak, it goes directly into the intake where it will intake manifold where it will clean inside there as well as your valves and all the way into the cylinders).. Then watch the white stinky smoke pour out.. When your done, reconnect the vaccum hose, shut the car off, let sit for about 5 minutes, start it up, then drive it till it stops smoking and sputtering..
I'm not sure I would seafoam it, just to find an exhaust leak...

Well I think I need a fuel pump. I noticed that my car seemed to feel like it was gonna die as I was driving. At a stop the idle would go low so it felt like it was gonna die too. I thought because I was low on fuel at first but at full it still does it.

well honestly, I bought an e-bay pump for my last car and it didn't work for **** so I wasted that $ when the "racetronix kit" is pretty plug and play.. Www.racetronix.com I believe. I would reccomend going ahead and changing your fuel filter before you go after a new pump though, and the seafoam.

well then i'd say yup- pump.. And i checked out the one you linked from e-bay.. doesnt seem like a bad deal, i like that it comes with that wire connector.. seems like better than the one i got.. so i'd say you may be ok with it!.. just before you buy- check out the feedback of the company and see if there is any listed on those pumps..
Keep us posted!!!

Seafoam is great stuff, you can even mix it with your oil
( ive never done that, but it says it on the can) - Anyways.. Yes you can put it in your gastank, and it will clean your injectors and fuel rail..But to get some good smoking goin on you gotta feed it through the intake through a vaccum port.. ( like i mentioned above using the vaccum line that comes from the Fuel pressure regulator)
