o2 questions?

my buddy came over and hooked up a guage in the obd2 plug and we looked at the front o2 sensors at idle..the driverside was bouncing from about 100 to 890 the passenger side was between 350 to 500 does that sound right?
is it going bad? i have no ses or codes..what do they normally run at?thanks

i got a 98 trans am stock..

So regardless of whether my O2 sensors are functioning properly, my WOT performance would not be affected.

How many miles ae on the sensors? Are they throwing any codes...even if they arent I say a fresh set of O2's are always a good idea if they have alot of mileage on them...the maf sensor and the front o2's are very crucial sensors and I think they should always be in tip top shape

I got 135,000 on my O2's. It just threw a P0133 code over the weekend.
Now I got to fix that problem. If it isn't one thing it's another.

Unless there's a connectivity problem, I would think the sensor is on its way out. A movement of only 150 mv should trigger the P105x - O2 sensor x slow circuit response code at some point. If you have a scanner, that code and perhaps another may be pending.
