Default are my o2's cooked from blown hg?ADDED QUESTION?

iv'e head it,and i figured i would ask what some of you guy's think or know for a fact.
it runs awsome,but down low 1st mostly it stutters real bad till 3k,then 2nd a tiny bit.
the rest of the gears are fine.

is it chip time?tweecer?...cause of the cam?
or the o2's are cooked?

Do a KOEO/KOER self-tests first, that way you'll know for sure if they are kaput.
