Default lt1 wont go into closed loop

I'm using turbolink4.0 scanner software off the serial cable so happy it read my lt1.Running the car i'm getting a bad reading on the O2's right side is ready at 972mv but left side just stays around 524mv, causing the engine to stay in open loop and not learn. Does the pcm learn off the o2's to go into closed loop?
Here are my readings at idle


FUEL SYSTEM

Right BPW 3.02
Right INT 128
Right BLM 128
Right O2 919mv
Left BPW 3.04ms
Left INT 128
Left BLM 128
Left O2 497mv
BLM Cell 16

IGNITION

Ref Cnt 0
Spark Adv 23.0
Retard 0.0
ESC Cnt 29350
Cyinder 66
Battery 12.7v

The ECU is waiting to see activity from the sensor so it knows it is up to temperature.

Could be a bad o2 sensor or a connection.

How old are the o2 sensors? Does the car still have a catalytic converter on it?

Your left O2 never heated up. Or it never read that it heated up.

The activity of the right O2 is also poor. It barely fluctuates.

I got the new o2 delphi's installed loop is now closing but the learn process is still active. I now have a list of codes that poped up on my scanner thats in the video at 0:27. In the video you can see where i stomp the gas and the rtd timing goes up to 19 degrees and the tps stays at 4-5% idle will stay at 1500-2000rpm unless i tap the pedel. I'm leaning towards the opti at this moment but would like to see your comments on what the culprit might be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yREfYnGVNe4

The idle problem sounds like a worn throttle body.

Some of those codes are opti related but others are not. I would clear them out and see what comes back first. Then, you can start with that code and diagnose it.
