have you checked to see what codes it throwing? That would be the first thing to check and would help everyone in diagnosing

you only have one O2 sensor, it is located before the cat.

it just needs replacing, pretty easy to swap out, especially if you get the one with the harness specific for you car.

I am currently faceing the same problem w/ my 95 civic coupe. when it hits idleing tempeture the check engine soon light comes on. Somtimes its hard to start when it's already warmed up but i have no problem when it sits for awhile... I was wondering if yours, somtimes was hard to start? I tried to use a jumper wire on the ecm to see how many times the light would blink. But the engine light will not come on until the engine idles........ HELPPPPPPPPPPP
