hard to tell with such a vague description, could be fouled plugs, faulty o2 sensors, injectors

The O2 sensor is most likely the problem.

i got that same problem, it came after i put my headers on. i pulled all my plugs and there wasnt anything wrong with them, so im leaning more towards the o2 sensor.

Does anyone have a pic of where the o2's are actually located. I know there are 2 in front and 2 behind the cat, but i would just like to visually see a reference for when I do mine this weekend.

Just look under the car you can't miss them, if you have stock manafolds the first 2 (upstrem) sensors will be located near the engine in the manafold.

No, they are after not "in" the cats and the new sensors should have anti seize on them already.

Just let the car warm up before you try and take them out. Becareful of the hot exhaust.
