The codes not only cover the ox sensors, but also the circuit to and from them. You may have something in the wiring/connections.

If you have that type of variation, I would run it for a couple of days, then clear the codes and see if they come back. An 02 sensor only has to get to 600 degrees once to start generating a signal, but there could be something delaying them from coming on board.

Did you use OEM sensors or after market?

Electrical stuff can do strange things.My grand prix did something similar so I disconnected the battery for a few minutes to reset the computor and it work for me....Had to reset the radio again but was worth it..RICK
