Default O2s not switching at idle

I just noticed that at idle my O2s seem to hang at around 900, or so. I've made changes to the various idle tables, but nothing seems to help.

When I start the car the O2s swing pretty much normal for about 1.5 minutes after that they flat line at ~900. While driving they switch fine...suggestions?

BTW, I did testing with the engine warmed up and in Closed Loop.

How many miles on the car?

Maybe it's time for new 02 sensors.

Around 60K miles. One O2 only has about 100 miles on it.

Here's a pic of what I'm talking about. Once the engine is hot it takes about 1 min and 40 seconds for the AFRs to go to hell Kinda hard to read, but on pane 3, the blue is commanded AFR and green is WB AFR. Below that on the next pane are my front O2s.

Yea, monitoring status bits, definately in closed loop. Takes about 10 seconds or less for O2s to report OK, and then goes into closed loop.

I increased the base adder for the affected airflow cells, and rescaled the IFR table. The O2s swing now, but they look like a darn mountain range, instead of gently rolling hills...

That's exactly why I run open loop full time now...haven't looked back since.
