Could do your front o2 sensors. As they get older they start switching slower and the air/fuel ratio gets worse.

Well only the front two change the air/fuel ratio, the back two just monitor cat efficiency. I know there's no code, but old o2 sensors clog up and slow down and new o2 sensors update more often so the air/fuel ratio stays more efficient. So there will be no benefit from changing out the back two.
