i got the same prob. i replaced both on mine and stupid cel still comes on [:@] i just said hell with it even though i still waste more gas but i ll fix it when i go home. have u tried looking at the wires and making sure there not messed up or have corrosion on them. u could also check with the voltage meter or whatever its called to check if the wire is busted.

either your cat is bad, or your second O2 sensor is bad
