VERY slow acceleration and O2 Sim Q's

Ok here is what just happen today. I was coming back from Macomb and the car started running very poor. Throttle respone is terible. At 60 i can give it 1/2 throttle and for a good 3 seconds there is no respone. After 3 seconds, you finally start to gain speed. It did this all the way home for a good half hour. Got home got out my tech 2 and check the codes, i have 2
O2 sensor Bank 1 Sensor 2
O2 sensor Bank 2 Sensor 2
These are both my O2 Sims Why would i be getting a code for if i had Sims in place. Can these go bad and cause the car to run weird? I know my front O2s are good, they only have 10k on them and look good on my Tech 2
Has anyone had this problem before?
Could it be TPS, MAP sensor, ??? I can clueless here.
Help me out guys my car isn't the same anymore.
Thanks Brad

As far as I know the rear two 02 sensors do nothing but monitor the cats. If one of your cats go bad the 02 sensor triggers a code for bad cat.

if you burned a wire going to your o2 sim it would act the same as if you had unhooked them and i'm not sure about the lt1 but i think if that happens the car goes to maximum retard and pulls 12* of timing out. which would really be a kick in the shins to your power.

But if i burnt a wire then why did i get a code for both, instead of just one. But its an idea and I'll check it out. Anyone else have any ideas. I just went out and drove it. I was slightly better but its still there. It feels like it just sucks alot of air for a couple seconds then finally the fuel comes. ????? Its really driving me NUTS!! Help!

Just checked wires on the O2 sims, they are fine. I e-mail TPIS and explained to them whats going on and they think my sims are bad. I am about to order some new O2 sims if i can't come up with any more ideas to check.
As for the car, i drvoe it today and it was alot better, almost back to normal. But it does that. I will come and go.
