Good morning.
I have been battling with this same issue for a couple years now so I thought I'd share.
Same codes as above.
* Lexus told me it was an o2 sensor, replaced it but the lights came back a couple of days later
* Toyota told me it was a gas cap, replaced, light came back on almost immediately.
* I noticed awhile ago that my vacuum hose with the green schrader valve on it kept slipping off, (right/driver's side of engine), next to oil fill stem. I bought a metal clip for it
and the lights went off for a couple days again.
* Today I was looking to see if another hose came off when BAM, figured it out. The hose with the green valve was actually dryrotted/split on the bottom. I bought a similar hose ($1.79/foot) from AutoZone, deleted the green service valve and problem solved.
I looked online and it seems other people also have encountered the same problem with that particular hose because of the high heat. I just thought I'd share incase anyone else is having this problem.
** Word of advice, I noticed that 3 of my hoses on that right side were dryrotted. You might want to check yours or just replace them for the $3-$5

Good detective work there usfguy. Can you post some pictures? (There are multiple issues that will cause the error condition but knowing that this is one of them will definitely help narrow them down & possibly save some money on needless repairs.)

Great job!
one other note, if those hoses are coming loose and they are not dry rotted, you most likely will need motor mounts...another weak part in our cars.

Might be a good item for "Sticky".. Seems like this issue is repetitive and certainly I have had it for last two years with all the warning lights on. The fix, on this occasion, was simply new hoses even though the code thrown reads "O2 sensor". New hoses certainly more financially acceptable rather than one, or perhaps two, new oxygen sensors.
