Do you have a hand held tuner? If so, what are the trouble codes?

you have to shut the rear O2s off via the tune. Email your tuner to send a new tune with them off

The code is po155 htd ox s htr cir 2 s1. There's an option on my tuner to turn the rear oxygen sensor off and I do that. But then after a couple of times starting the car it comes back on

P0155 is the front sensor on driver side, its in the exhaust manifold,
not the rear sensors, you can't turn off the front ones, only adjust
how fast they react if you have long tube headers.

Ok, beofre you go throwing money at your O2 sensors, try listening to us that have gone thru it. I have had the same codes thrown as you and it was all tune related. You need a custom tune.

If you still beleive the O2 sensor is bad, which I doubt, then just take it out and switch the two O2 sensors side to side. Even then, I still say it's tune related. You may replace the O2 sensor and the code goes away, but it will come back.
