OFT Wild AFR's at Warm Idle *LOGS*
My idle has began fluctuating up and down by about 50-100 RPM and the AFR's will swing wildly between 10:1 and 20:1. This only happens when the car is fully warmed up. AC/defroster is off. At cold or semi-warm idle everything is fine. I put the car on my lift while running and I do not hear any exhaust leaks or see any soot that would indicate a leak. The torque for all exhaust fasteners was checked once a week for about 4 weeks after installation to make sure they were still tight. I'm assuming it's an O2 sensor issue since most cars don't use the O2 sensor until fully warm, correct?

If an o2 sensor is bad it'll usually peg in a direction, either lean or rich. Make sure to check for a vacuum leak up top as well just to cross another item off your list, though not likely with the stock intake. In the mean time, have you tried flashing back to stock to see if AFR keeps swinging like it is? Maybe hit up the resident OFT guy, @steve99.

Yes something way off in those logs. Can you do some more logs but tgis time instead of logging flkc knock correction and intake air temp, can you log port injectpr and direcrit injectoin pulse widths or mght be called injecor open time. I want to see if the injectors are actually injecting in lots of fuel then shutting off. I suspect its the front 02sensor The manifold pressure boost is sgowing -8 or so so that indicates no intake leaks Ltft is low but with afr oscilateing like that it provably doesnt mean much. Check you 02 sensor pligs are tight and fhe di injection computer under bonnet is bolted up tight ( you have not changed the di computer bracket for aftermarket ? ) But the logs of injector pilse widths should help |

Thanks for the responses so far! |
Is your ots tune untouched or did you modify it? Have you changed the front scaling in any way around the 0mA value?

It's finally daylight here again, so I'm going to make sure the O2 sensors are still tight, check/clean electrical connections, and get the log that @steve99 requested. |
Alright, so I gave the O2 sensors an extra 1/8th turn (they were already pretty tight) and cleaned their connections. The DI computer connections are still good as well. @steve99 here are the injector logs you requested. I logged other fuel related channels just in case.
Cold idle where everything is smooth and the AFR sticks to about 14.5:1 https://datazap.me/u/jmtrotz/cold-id...=0&data=1-8-14 Warm idle where the AFR swings wildly between 11:1 and 20:1 https://datazap.me/u/jmtrotz/warm-id...=0&data=1-3-12 This one is while driving again: https://datazap.me/u/jmtrotz/drive-home?log=0&data=1 I've noticed that between 2500 and 4000 RPM while accelerating with light/moderate throttle the engine speed will sort of increase in "hops" instead of climbing smoothly. It did it several times while recording my driving log. I peeked at my OFT while driving and noticed how rapidly it swings between 10:1 and 20:1 is dependant on engine speed. At idle it's a pretty slow flip flop compared to at higher RPMs where it's very rapid. I checked for codes and I have P0171 (too lean) and P219A (AFR imbalance) :( |

It does look like the front 02 sensor is bad or has some form of wiring issue. In the idle log you can see the afr go to 20 which is limit of sensor but the injection time is actually increasing, so that seems to indicate o2 sensor issue. Again while driving you see the afr go super lean but the injection volumes for pirt and di dont drop. Unfortunatly 02 sensors are not cheap, but it does look like front o2 sensor is bad. Dont over torque them or drop them they are quite easy to damage. My try to get one from crashed car, they are all same auto manual alk years i believe |

You could also try the latest V4 tune

To conclude this thread in case anyone has this issue in the future and comes across it while doing a search: a new O2 sensor did fix the issue and the car runs perfectly again. |
How many miles on the car when this started?
