Default Help...wierd O2 sensor signal

when scanning my engine, the signal for my narrowband O2 sensors is flat...not osciallating like it is supposed to. Any idea what might cause this? I tried replacing the sensors, checked fuses, looked for obvious shorts, and flashed back the stock tune...but still get a flat signal. Any input is appreciated!

Are they the front O2's? Is the car running bad?

Yes, they are the front O2 sensors. I have them hooked up with extensions to long tube headers. The rear o2's have been replaced with O2 sims. The engine runs fine...but VERY lean (14.0-16.0 AFR) under moderate to mild acceleration as recorded by my AFX wide band.
Note... this entire setup ran fine for months...then suddenly I noticed my o2 scans were flat. I checked older scans were the signals were normal. I can't figure out what might have changed or caused the change.
