Default Car Running Rich!

Hey Tech or anybody! I changed both O2 Sensors with Bosch ones and it still is running rich. It reads B1S1 Fuel Trim 99.06% and B1S1 Equivalence 1.999 LAM.
Any ideas what it could be, vacum lines maybe? Thanks for any comments.

Did you reset the Computer by disconnecting the battery?

That will reset all the paramiters in the computer.

I unpluged the + under the hood in that little box, is that enough or do I need to go into the trunk?

The engine control module needs to loose power for 15 minutes.

So I would disconnect in the trunk.

I diconected the battery for 1/2 an hour and it's still the same. I ran the onboard test while I was driving and it came up like this,
Continuously Monitored Systems
Misfire-Complete
Fuel System-Complete
Comprehensive Component-Complete

Non-Continuously Monitored Systems
Catalyst-Not Complete
Evaporative System-Not Complete
Oxygen Sensor-Not Complete
Oxygen Sensor Heater-Not Complete

When I finished my short drive, all said Complete except for Catalyst and 2 Pending Diagnostic Trouble Codes, Ignition System Misfire Code P0333 Knock Sensor 2 Circuit High Input (Bank2) which I've had before and Fuel And Air Metering P0134 O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected(Bank 1 Sensor 1).

Can you read Mass Flow items?
Air flow metering sounds like Mass flow sensor.

I got home and hooked up the laptop and the Mass Air sensor is at .40-.60 lb/min. at idle. The code for the Fuel and Air Metering went away, car runs stronger now since I installed
the new O2 sensors but B1S2 Fuel Trim is still at 99.06%. Do you think over time it will correct itself or is it maybe an vacum leak? On our trip to St. Louis last week, we got 33.28mpg on the highway when I calculated it at the pump, I thought I would get bad milage running rich. Oh, and when I got home this evening the P0333 code came up again, but no check engine light, said I was at 71% load at like 4700rpm's.
