Alright, so I have been working with a tuner from SCT troubleshooting my car running rich. I've been data logging and running new programs for weeks with out really figuring anything.
Before we go any further, the engine I have in my car was a used one I used to replace my broken one in April. Before it was installed it had compression tests and leak down tests done to it and it was fine. Also done again in the beginning of August when I brought my car to a shop to see if there was anything mechanically wrong with it causing these issues, which was me having p2196 and p2198, o2 sensors stuck rich. I've replaced my MAF and replaced my spark plugs (multiple times, all with the same results)
I've analyzed my last data logs, and you can see the short term fuel trims pretty far off from one another, to the point where at some instances one side is reading .60 and the other is 1.40 when there is no load on it. But when I go to accelerate the values align up. My o2 sensor voltages are also off from one another until I accelerate as well.
So to sum that up, my short term fuel trims and o2 sensor voltages only align with one another while accelerating. When I am just cruising (not putting any load on) the values vary greatly.
I know my o2 sensors are connected correctly (not swapped) and when i did try to swap them, to see what happened and provide a data log for SCT, I didn't feel comfortable driving it around like that.
Anyone know what I could possibly be missing? This is driving me crazy, killing my gas mileage, and my car is not as responsive as it used to be.
Mods: BBK shorty headers, Ford Racing Cold air intake, Ford Racing 0-degree spark plugs (for my nitrous kit), walbro 400lph fuel pump, catless exhaust.
