Is there any way for you to get the actual code number so we can help diagnose better?
There are a bunch of things it could be (also make sure they put in the correct sensor......your first sensor is an A/F ratio sensor not just an O2 sensor and the wrong one may cause problems). Also make sure you are only using NGK or Denso plugs. It sounds like you are pinging so you might also try running some Techtron injection cleaner as well. Like I said post the actual code number and we can help much more.
If you want to pull codes yourself you can get one of these:

Bank one lean (P0171 code) is typical of a dirty MAF. Do a forums search on cleaning it. Be sure to get down into the MAF hotwires, not just the IAT.
Noise under acceleration is a different issue.
