Headers installed, now engine light on
The codes are "p0135 - o2 sensor heater circuit bank 1 sensor 1" and "p0141 o2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2 heater malfunction"
The o2 before the cat was unplugged from the gray clip, and plugged back in.
Is this really both sensors out? or auxillary heater? I dont know

Both sensors out. Check for good ohms and make sure the sensor oriphus is clean befor you reinstall it. You may not need to replace them... also, make sure to reset the ecu befor you test it again.

first of all do not spend any money yet. do you have a 3.0?
I installed my headers and had this exact problem happen to me shortly after. It turned out that the O2 sensor wire was touching the rear headers/downpipe and had shorted out. The circuit that it's connected to is also connected to the post-cat sensor so it showed them both out.
Check the rear headers/downpipe and see if the wire for the O2 sensor is touching at all. If not check the wire for he O2 sensor. I know I also had a problem with the wire touching teh axle. Just make sure the wiring is ok, and the fuse for those cirtcuits is replaced before you go spending $400 like I had to.

Im thinking the guy I had do it plugged the o2 sensor into the harness wrong, and therefore I all of a sudden got those codes. I am a 2.3. Both 02s go to the same circuit bank, as the readout implies. He may have shorted out that circuit.
I can hold him to his work. In theory, it shouldnt be coming out of my pocket. Ill talk to the shop.

You would definately get those codes with an improperly connected harness. The ecu would have received the wrong linage signals and therefore saw the O2 sensor as in a failed state.
