id jsut replace the sensors replacing them will probably increase you gas mileage and give you back some lost power.

If you have lean codes.....it doesn't necessarily mean the O2 sensors are bad, they might be reading correctly, and you may have a real lean condition, caused by something else in the system.....(exhaust leak, vacuum leak, low fuel pressure, bad injectors, disconnected HEGO ground wire, bad MAFor MAP/BP sensor.....as examples).......just a thought.

I got the same readings when I pulled the codes on my car, and I found out it was caused but a vacuum leak.

Follow what Joel5.0 suggested before you buy new o2 sensors.
