Should be two pre-cat, and two post-cat sensors......

Those sensors don't come into play right away though, engine has to be warmer then 'cold', and O2s take a couple minutes to heat up, and start working. If it runs rough at startup, O2 sensors aren't the problem. Somethin' else is goin' on.

Are you getting any misfire codes?
