Throwing o2 code Question, Spark Plug Non Fouler Options

[6G96GT]

Welp, been out for quite some time but I am back to ask a question (hopefully Bitter will read this). I have two 02 sensors in my afternmarket header in the same location, one about 2" above the other. Why? I have no clue and yes it sounds stupid and it may even appear that I don't know what I am talking about but please beleive me...the header's 4 to 1 pipe (the 1 pipe part) has both o2 sensors in it and there is no cat or pre cat or anything at all.

So...the non fouler spark plug kit, will it work to put it in bank 2 ? I am throwing a code and says o2 bank 1 or 2 and I replaced bank 1 a couple months ago with an OEM one.

Is the non spark plug fouler kit a direct screw in fixer? I have no 02 in my cat at all. I even considered re-wiring the second o2 to reach my cat and add a bung and wld it right into it.

Help please?

Thanks gentlemen. Cyber, I did try to clean it to no avail but thanks for the tip any way! D-Man, I know why it's throwing the code, I just need to fix it now. I was thinking the non fouler kit would work because I think it tricks the ecu somehow (not sure on this) and my last resort is to extend the wire at the header to the cat under the car and plug it right in. That might work?

Bitter, you wrote this in response to a guy having a similar problem. I don't think he gave it a shot but I will! Can you elaborate on this??
"some 3rd gen eclipse folk have had luck using a spark plug anti-fouler to space the sensor out a little so it gets a cleaner sample and doesnt trip the light. but im not sure if this would work for the toyota sensor, it needs to be the kind that screws into the pipe, not the flanged type."
