What were the trouble codes? Are the codes still present after replacement of O2 sensors?
Did you check the spark plugs and related components?

Do you have coolant losses issues or overheating issues?
What is the idling speed at operating temperature?
Try cleaning the throttle body and IAC and see if the idling stabilises.

No loss of coolant and no overheating issues
Idling speed 75-80 thousand rpms
What is an IAC?

Idle Air Control Valve. Idling speed is correct. So shouldn't be a fult with the idle control.

Misfiring should be the cause and were the spark plug wires ohmed out? Have the injectors checked and if possible, use a scan tooll to monitor the Throttle Position Sensor, MAF and injectors.

Maybe the IAC is not responding as required. Try cleaning it.
