It should generate a DTC if the O2 sensor is at fault, but with 120,000 miles I'd think about buying a new sensor for general practice. The O2 sensor inputs to the PCM, the PCM determines rich or lean fuel ratio. If you are able to scan, look in the history files for codes like P0171 or P0172.

Rich,

Only the FRONT sensor in the DP will affect anything. It generally will not set a light until long after it'* toasted. Most O2'* start getting tired at about 60k miles.

How about we do a full tuneup on your car? PCV, fuel filter, air filter, O2 sensor (you did plugs and wires, what wires and plugs did you use?), and the like. Including pulling your TB and cleaning it per the procedure in Techinfo.

Diagnosing problems on a car that hasn't had a tuneup in that long is pointless.
