I will add that if an oxygen sensor is bad, I would expect a corresponding diagnostic code to be stored in the CIS controller. I think I got the following from JimF's website:

5 = Faulty oxygen sensor
17 = Oxygen sensor signal

These codes are easily obtained as explained in the D.I.Y. section and many posts on this website.

Mushedroom, I am no mechanic but I think your problems go far beyond an oxygen sensor. Seems like you may require major engine work...valve job or new rings.
