Default can a o2 sensor do this?

ok os i recently tuned my car i had a local guy do it and he has done alot of tunes for alot of my friends with hp tuners we tuned it and it ran better then ever btu when i hooked my 02 sensors back up it runs great except at idle sometimes and only sometime ill be sitting at a light and it will rev up and down like 4 times then die and the oil pressuse gouse up and down like waa.....waa.....waa really slow like it has a monstorous cam in it but it doesnt i preplaced one 02 sensor and noticed the wires are our of the back of it i think tht other 02 sensor is bad if so would this cause this idle problem

Start diagnosing it by pulling codes or pending codes....... Tech II, Snap on etc....will read pending codes.

it sounds like you may have several issues going in...
if its not throwing codes... then its probably not a hardware issue...
I would guess at a half ***/crap tune
if you dont tune everything in the tune, you can get weird things happening on different days
theres a lot of variables...and it only takes one to throw the whole tune into a tailspin on any given day

Buy the vette o2's, if you buy these then you don't have to have extensions. Good luck
