Question O2 sensor code after installing PS LT's?

i just installed lt's and an ory, I drove the car for a couple days. Just the other day, the ses light went on. I went home and scanned it, and it's said "P0133, bank 1 O2 slow to respond." What could cause this? Is it time to replace the sensor?

often times with new headers the residue that burns off will mess up the oxygen sensors, its not uncommon its pretty much a guarantee in fact

get yourself a couple new AcDelco sensors because Bosch is no good, especially with headers

Would that cause the check engine light to come on? Just did a LT header install as well. Wasnt sure if it was my opti or o2 sensors and cant scan till tmw. Also would it cause vibration as you come to a stop? Sorry if im hijacking.

Question stall?

I have a 1996 trans am,would it stall if the o2 sensors are bad? It has stalled on me twice, the check engine light was not on,it came on after it stalled out,then later it was off,then it stalled again then the light came back on. I had it scanned and it said something about bank 1 and bank 2 slow to respond,but i never heard of an o2 sensor making a car stall????? Also random misfire code came up as well.

It can stall out if the sensors arent reading at all. I did a pacesetter swap on my 96 SS, and the passenger sensor went bad, and made it idle rough and stall out when trying to drive at all. I swapped the sensor and made my own extensions from the wire, that pacesetter gives you. Also maybe try cleaning the MAF.
