Default P013

engine was running like crap with no light so i decided to pull codes and got a p013 ... Right oxygen sensor not ready, any suggestions? and also recently the cars been running like crap at idle (throttle body has been cleaned) getting about 12 mpg and i can smell a real strong smell of gas in the exhaust, new plugs, new wires, new cap, and rotor, any ideas on that too?

think this is just a case of a bad upstream sensor on the rear bank causing this running trouble? popped a p044 of the highway today as well, that one only occurrs on teh highway
