Default Anyone ever get their 02 sensors crossed?

Just wondering what the symptoms would be if by accident the o2 sensors were wired incorrectly to the ECU. I recently changed mine, now my car seems (hard to explain) "heavy"...like it doesnt have as much throttle response as before. Also, vtec doesnt seem to come on as easily...like I have to give it more load/throttle to get it to engage. Does it seem like i got my 02 sensors crossed? Any input is appreciated. BTW, i have a 90 hatch with a obd0 b16.

I believe it would throw a CEL if it's wired wrong. Code 1 for the sensing element & code 41 for the heater circuit. Maybe both, if you scramble all 4 of the wires.

I'm stupid for not paying attention... I thought heated O2 sensors were already used. You've got the setup where there's 2 sensors on the exhaust manifold? You can ignore me since I don't really know that setup.
