I checked them visually and they were good and was looking at a scan and the
O2 readout on the far right of the screen (forgot the bank #) when you use the "gauges" table on HPT scan tool is flat dead and in the red. Usually that bar graph is going up and down with the O2 sensor's readings. I assume that's the passenger side sensor?Also if you really need a couple O2's I can bring you some in October. Also have a stock Y-pipe to go along with it. That what you need?
First off I thought the Mail man was your daddy??? 
As far as the O2 sensor issue, Yes It will cause all the Problems you described. Think of the O2 sensor like a nose. It samples the spent exahust and tells the computer how its doing as far as timing and fuel are going. Let say you pull it out.
Now The computer is like your girl freind back when you were 16 or in your case your Boy freind...
It saying Hello, am I doing it right??? 
The computer knows the engine is running becuase of the other sensors but It doesn't know if its running rich or lean becuase the 02 sensor is not functioning. The computer keeps trying to compensate by adjusting the timing and fuel mixture up and down....

Come over and help me run some wires you douche...you know more about power wires in the harness than I do! With my luck I would tap into the windshield wiper fluid line thinking it was a hot lead!

Job application went in this morning!! 
BTW...A General FYI here.
After talking with Tarrant from wilwood last Thursday, if brakes are allowed to sit too long on a shelf and not primed with brake fluid than the O-rings start to dry out and lose their elasticity and therefore do not allow the pistons to move in and out freely. I hope I don't have to do the same thing with the rears because they had been sitting on a shelf for 3 years although they had never been used prior to that so they were basically new in box when installed, unlike the fronts which I had previously put maybe 20,000 miles on them...

The front ones on the other hand were left on a shelf. The problem with brake fluid Is its water soluible. It will absorbe water esspecially if the system is left open. Mileage has nothing to do with it.
