need help with CEL for both 02 sensor after replacing 02 sensors.

I will try to make this as brief as possible.
My 1991 has had a CEL light on for a little while code 1 and 2, front and rear 02 sensors. It always fine until after driving for a hour one day I restarted it a few minutes later and it was down on power by almost 50% and a slight stutter.
So I replace both 02 sensors, still down on power. I check all the coil packs they are reading 1.2 but see that one coil pack is missing a bolt holding it in.
I replace missing bolt and it runs great back to full power but was showing CEL for front 02 sensor, and now CEL for both 02 sensors.
Why am I still getting CEL for both 02 sensors even though I just replaced them?
PS I have been pulling the clock fuse to reset ECU several time including after replacing missing bolt from coil pack.

Thanks for any advice
 
No headers, the only mods are the larger air intake scoop (no cold air intake) and short gears.
 
I have a '96 (4 sensors), and I don't quite remember the wiring paths for '91 sensors (2 sensors, I believe). But, is it possible you wired them such that you swapped the connectors? I'm don't know if sensor cable lengths would make a swap possible, but that would confuse the computer.
 
I had a shop install the 02 sensors but I think the wires are supposed to be a different length although I think the part number for the two sensors were the same.
