I just purchased a 1999 countour, the owner told me that it needed a o2 sensor. I hooked up the obd2, and it shows that upper and lower sensors are bad, so i change them, The lower wiring was burned, so i went to the wreacking yard and got the wiring. I intalled the new wire and the sensors then clear the computer. It was running the the light came on. Check it out with the scanner, again same codes. upper and lower o2 sensors.

Need to have cat. converter tested. Something is causing the O2 sensors to fail prematurely so you need to inspect the related emission components to see which one is at fault. Try checking out the EGR valve passageways and also the MAF sensor.
