is it throwing any codes? 02sensors could be failing would be the onlything really if its mostly stock I would imagine. Could also possibly be your intake setup that changes your a/f quite a bit

pita as far as replacing? as simple as jacking it up and stickin a long thin flathead up the side of the tranny to release clip and they make a special o2sensor socket you can get a an autoparts store so you dont f it ^ when trying to take off and put on.

Get it on a dyno and check A/F.
