Bank one sensor fluctuates much lower milivolts than Bank two sensor. Seems to run too good for vacum leak.

I don't know where you get that idea. Those codes simply mean that the computer has reached it's adaptive limit in it's attempt to maintain 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio. Vacuum leaks or intake snorkel leak are the #1 causes of thise codes. The 0/2s are the very least likely causes, especially when it's both banks. You need to have the engine smoke tested. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
