You could hook up a code scanner.
One that does the live engine analyzes.

Look at the O2 sensors and make sure they are cycling between almost 0V and almost 1V.
If they are not - that may be part of your problem too.

ALL tools and gaskets laid out and ready to go... put the 13mm socket on the 18" of new wobble extensions .... place my hand ever so gently on to the ratchet, afraid of broken stud... sweat dripping from my brow... ever so gently clicked ratchet into reverse and put socket on nut with gently pressure... apply twist.. and ever so gently the nut turned.... hmmm... YOU HAVE to BE KIDDING!I said Histerically, they ALL WERE LOOSE! HAHAHA tightened it nice and snug to proper torque.. fired up disco and SMOOOOOOTH as glass! hahahahaha SEE YA ON THE BEACH SUCKAZ!!!! just kidding.. KNOCK ON WOOD! lol anyway... all this time mine were loose! hehe my I submit my nominee for idiot of the day? lol

BTW did you torque them while the engine was cold or hot/warm. and what did you torqued them too. I will check mine and only torque them if they are REALLY LOOSe.
