There is a relay that supplies battery voltage to the O2 sensors at startup, to heat the sensors up to proper 600F operating temperature. The relay is probably going bad. Let me see if I can find where the relay is.
There is a 10amp fuse in the engine compartment relay box for the HO2 sensors. Haynes shows it labeled as #27, but I'm not sure if that's the panel number.
