A couple of things come to mind that I need you to check which can cause the o2 sensor codes as well. The first is a vacuum leak, here is a guide to check for that.

and a weak fuel pump.

Here is a guide for that as well

Please run some tests and get back to us so we can continue helping you.

Cheers, Ken
