Switch injector banks around, and see if the issue happens on the opposite side of the engine. If it does, it's an injector. If not, it's the O2. O2 will generally throw a code as well.

Or, hell, you can do the opposite. Swap the O2's between sides and see if the problem follows the O2s. Whichever is easier for you.

Were your O2s coated? What kind of fuel do you use?
