Previous owner put new denso plugs in right before he sold it. He said he also replaced the rear sensors. So i guess i'll try replacing the front ones. Anybody in the GA area want to help me with that? Also where should i get new sensors from?

The last owner said he just replaced the back ones...so it looks like i will be replacing the front ones now. Any idea about how long it should take me? Any special tools i might need?

I had the same problemin my1st year of ownership. I had severale misfires always on the same
bank of cyl. Also throwing codes for O2 sensors. It was EGT sensor for the cyl bank involved.
EGT sensor is pricey approx 300 $ not to difficult to change on pass side but harder on drivers side. If you plan to change O2 sensor at the front, the best way i tryied so far is a 10" ext. with a flex coupler and the O2 lambdatool (30$)sold at ECTuning. It's not easy but it's makable within an hour of work.

Good luck & keep us posted for your conclusion.
