Most likely cause- Coolant Temp sensor. It will read false readings back to the ecm and the ecm will try and compensate. It olny costs $10 and is relatively easy to replace. I would start there.

Right in the front of the manifold. 2 wires going into a sensor which screws into the manifold

Its either your Coolant temp sensor OR your O2 sensor. Aks me how I know I know you said you replaced your O2 sensor, but go get a Bosch with the plug already on it. That will clear up your problem. Night and Day my man... night and day.

How Do you know its my o2 sensor or my coolant temp?

Im On my way to buy my coolant sensor in about 20 mins, hopefully it helps.

Should i really buy a different o2 sensor? is it worth buying a new one i just put mines in last week.

Hold off the O2 sensor until you have determined the problem to not be the temp sensor
