Since you replaced both sensors check the wirring to make sure there is no breaks or shorts i, it can happen quite often.

I had this code come up because of a broken wire.

check the K41 wire (BLACK w/ ORANGE stripe) at the PCM. The wire is on the bottum row first wire in from the right (toward the engine), you will have to disconnect the connector from the PCM, just loosen the 8mm bolt holding it on, and flip the connector over and you should see it.

I was trying to check resistance to this wire to make sure it wasn't broken anywhere, I had to remove the connectorr to get to it, and as soon as I flipped the connector over I seen the wire was broken.

also the idle will drop down to almost 0 and with the air tube off it sounds like it is a jet taking off it is trying to suck so much air

Well finally cared my jeep to the dealership and it was a wire right at the ac compressor broke and $85 dollars later it finally runs good but the gas mileage has dropped they say putting in new O2 sensors help gas mileage I am begging to wonder
