Default Ls1 c1500 RUNS BAD IN CLOSED LOOP RUNS GOOD IN OPEN LOOP

so I recently finished up my swap on my 93 Silverado it has a Ls1 with a torque max sns stage 2 cam with supporting mods the wiring harness is from BP Automotive the motor runs fine in closed loop but once it warms up it starts to die out and hesitates really bad to get going will not idle by itself. All the sensors are brand new I recently switched out O2s from AC Delco to Bosch and no luck truck currently has no exhaust taking it tommorow to get it done but smells super rich I have no vacuum leaks good injector new spark plugs and wires basically everything new I have one ground from harness to back of driver side cylinder head a ground strap infront of block on passenger side and a ground infront of block driver sode head fuel pressure is good custom tune from Tuned By Frost any help will be greatly appreciated! Keep in mind it only runs bad at part throttle and idle it will clear up under wide open throttle.

Your thread title says it runs good in closed loop but bad in open, then you say just the opposite in the thread? So, it runs good when it's cold, (open loop) then bad when it warms up (closed loop)? Sounds like you need your tune fine tuned a bit.

Had a similar issue without exhaust, running just the O2 sensors on the manifolds.
Wait and see how it does with exhaust.

Agreed as well. The o2’s don’t read well without exhaust behind them. I chased this same issue once.

Yeah once O2 sensors can run in a stable exhaust flow, things tend to rectify themselves. Glad you got it nailed down!
