No they won't.  Not if they are just flat worn out and cannot adjust from reading
rich to lean to rich as fast as the mixture changes when you punch it, then let all
the way off, then punch it again.  That is what happens, on a smaller scale, when
you drive in city traffic.  If they can't keep track of the mixture changes, they
will continue to read lean, and send too much fuel through the injectors.  That
happened to the Lowrider after its factory sensors made it up to about 225K miles. 
No light.  That car NEVER flashes the CE light, except when the key is on and the
engine is off.  I swapped the sensors with ones that came with the SS Y-pipe buy,
and it went back up to 30 mpg and 500 mile tanks on trips.

Then it got HIT!
