This guy may be right! You have all 02 codes and a lean code.

Swap out both front sensors and see how it is.

It's the drivers side, but i'd do both the drivers and passenger side front o2 sensors. Might as well do both of em while you're under there, ya know?
On a side note, I had a flashing ses light for a period of time that would only appear when the car wasn't at operating temp, and it would only come on at part throttle. It would also miss like crazy, until you floored it. That was also caused by bad upstream o2 sensors.
Moral of that story? don't buy Bosch o2 sensors!

OMG...why do my projects somehow turn to caca? Why didn't anyone mention that the new O2 sensors have about an inch of cable but it really needs to be about 2 feet long? 
I know how to splice wires and stuff like that for stereos, speakers, gauges; but what kind do I use for the sensor. Sorry Yawl I know this is like mechanics 101, I'm really trying to do this on my own. Thanks in advance.

If you can help it, go with Denos O2's. I am running a Bosch 13111 and it throws a code in the winter time when it doesn't heat properly. The Bosch is a lazy O2 sensor to begin with, I learned the hard way lol
I also have never had any issues with throwing O2 codes, they just would sit there and never hindered my power or created a misfire.

Me too. 
Now don't yawl go too far. I think I'm gonna have the mother of all projects when I get to working on the front end. Not sure if its the rack and pinion or what. But the steering feels weird while turning. This is on my own car. But I'll start a new thread if I need help.
