    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    So as far as I know you are correct, this leak isn't the end of the world but it is something that hasn't always been present and as such it bothers me. I haven't talked to much to my tuner about it recently, Andale927 is an old buddy and college roommate of mine, a trustworthy tuner but that's...

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    The blow off valve is still properly sealed and functional.

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Ok that makes sense I didn't realize. And I am running a tial vta knock off with the stock spring replaced with a proper one. I don't have a stock or one I could swap with right now but I do have a block off plate I can try sometime this week. I have checked it pretty well for leaks when I...

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Yes I see that but it is only happening really at idle. When I press and release brakes (idling while stopped) the AFR gets rich and then lean and takes a couple of seconds to recover. The condition is more random seeming while driving, almost solely in partial throttle.

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Update: I clamped that line and took it for a drive very carefully. That seemed to make little to no difference in the fuel trims.

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    I hear you there, I am going to plug it and check for improvement before doing anything. I did find diagrams and posts talking about a check valve in that hose though. I will update after plugging and testing later.

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Update; Finally got around to checking that check valve. i didn't run with it plugged yest but I pulled the line and there is not a check valve in that line at all. I did check the other line next to it which does have a check valve in line along with the purge solenoid. I checked both of those...

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Oh okay, I don't have time tonight but I will check it out tomorrow or some other time this week, is this just a normal check valve? If I find it and cut it out of the hose do you think I can just replace it with a universal?

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    I will try that out tonight, I will clamp the line to the brake booster and see if that solves the issue entirely if it does I'll be thrilled but I can't imagine a brake booster will be cheap or easy to replace. As far as that check valve goes, any chance you can find a picture of it? I looked...

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    One thing I did notice which is weird is that when I am idling the AFR becomes erratic and goes lean if I hit the brake. Should I investigate possible leaks or issues with the brake booster?

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    So I did all of that and I even fogged all the vacuum connections with acetylene today. I found no additional leaks anywhere

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Oh good idea I didn't think of that. I'll try and give that a shot tomorrow. I also wonder if there may be a check valve besides the PVC I am missing checking or something like that aswell

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    The MAF o-ring is in good shape, I just checked last night when I cleaned the MAF.

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Any tips as to where I should look? I have smoke tested the whole intake and intercooler tract at around 20 psi and fixed everything that was leaking which was one one clamp on the intake for the tube going to the valve cover. I have tested multiple times since and found absolutely nothing. All...

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Update: I have now replaced both O2 sensors with brand new units from NTK and clean both my map and maf sensors. Neither change made had any effect on the symptoms my car has been exhibiting. Really not sure what could be going on here it's very strange still seeing crazy fuel trims and an AFR...

    Unplugging the rear O2 had no effect, I should have the new sensors coming in tomorrow I will update if that helps.

    I'll give that a shot tomorrow morning and see how it goes. Thanks for the tip!

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Fair enough, I figured since that was the secondary it didn't matter that much besides emissions codes. I have replacement primary and secondary O2 sensors on the way, they should be here Friday so I can update if that helps this weekend.

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Looking for help diagnosing a weird issue with crazy fuel trims and a wandering AFR under light throttle. There is not an obvious vacuum leak causing this. This isn’t my daily anymore so it is not the end of the world but I am at my wits end trying to figure this out so I can work on my 6th port...
