Follow-up....

New oxygen sensors did not solve the problem.
Spraying the sensor wire down, to insure paper fibers werent on it, did not solve the problem.

I got 2 choices left:

Possible dirty injectors, causing it to run poorly, (it doesnt act like that is the problem, however)... and taking it back to the dealer and having a trained mechanic diagnose it.

What is anyone/everyone's opinion on bottled fuel injector cleaner, at the auto parts store? (assume premium brand/price).
How does this compare, to taking it to a mechanic and having them run the fuel injector service. (where they hook special lines to the engine, run a special chemical through it, etc) ?

I got 83k miles, its 10 years old. Dont think it could necessarily hurt, as preventative maintenance, at minimum. However, I used to run a jar of gumout through the engine every oil change.
