Default Closed loop issues

What would cause my car to go lean only when it is in closed loop. I never had any problems for 9 months then I welded a little on the body, forgot to disconnect the battery. Now im having this problem. I dont know if the welding had anything to do with it but maybe. And if so what could this have screwed up. Any help would be appreciated.

if you have datamaster also check what your fuel trims look like. they should be close to 128.

If its just open loop, then yes it could be tuning. The target a/f for open loop is configured in the tune.
