Had bad 02's Bank 1 sensor 1 Bank 2 sensor 1. Also had what he thought was an exhaust leak. But as I inspected the car it was a loose plug on cylinder # 6 which was causing the misfire. Made sure the 02's were switching correctly. Just need to delete some air codes that were not done correctly but I didnt have my cable that day. All codes were cleared that day
