Default On going problem

Problem: After I crank the car and it warms up it starts idling rough fluids out and dies. I unpluged my O2 sensors and it runs fine. So I bought new ones along with the extensions needed and still the same problem. Does anyone have any idea what it might could be? I have almost changed out every sensor on the car, I even contacted Brian form pcmforless but I still can't figure it out. It's been about a year now rebuilding this thing and I am ready to drive it so please someone help me.

It seems that it's not able to work properly in closed loop, maybe you have exhaust leak causing it to dup more fuel. The first thing to du is to hook up a scanner and see what O2 sensors are seeing, short and lomg term fuel trims...

Yes I know I need to get it scanned but I dont have one and there pretty pricey right now. There is no exhaust leak I can assure you. The nearest place to get it scaned is about 15 miles from my house. If I unplugged them you it hurt it to drive it that far?

It wont hurt a bit, mind ou some cars came from the factory without O2 sensors like my impala for example. It wont be very fuel efficient.
