More oxygen sensor problems

So I recently posted a thread asking for help removing my oxygen sensor, and I did manage to get it off and the new one installed. But this hasn't fixed a few problems that I thought it would.

1. When cruising at steady speed, the Scan Gauge will read something like 1.5 GPH. When I lift off the gas and slip it into neutral, the GPH will slowly tick downwards, like 1.5 GPH...0.75 GPH...0.50 GPH...0.35 GPH...0.25 GPH. It probably takes about 2 or 3 seconds after I lift my foot to reach the idle GPH.

2. Sometimes, instead of the above problem, when I let off the gas and coast in neutral, the car will go open loop for a few seconds. The Scan Gauge shows DFCO, but this can't be the case because I'm coasting in neutral with the engine on. It usually only stays open loop for 2 or 3 seconds, and then returns to the normal idle fuel flow.

Any thoughts or help on this would be great. Thanks.
