These are your fuel trims for Bank 1 and Bank 2. + fuel trims mean your computer is adding fuel to that side and - fuel trims means its taking away fuel

your fuel trims should be around + or - 5

It looks to me like Bank1(Drivers Side) is Rich and Bank 2 (Passenger Side) is Lean

Short Term Fuel Trims (S)
Long Term Fuel Trims (L)

You really need to log alot more data driving around to see if things are normal, I dont see anything obvious besides your Fueling is way out of whack.

gotcha... simple check would be to check the wires, its coded like factory so if the tan w/white stripe is in place where the tan should be and vice versa I can assume they are switched, if they match up as incorrect on the pinouts

well after a LOT of reading and whatnot, and going through the service manual, it seems as if its the PCM..... Im going to pick up another one and hopefully that will fix the problem... if not, im just gonna burn the car down and collect insurance money....

Ok took a shot in the dark, and one guy suggested to me to unplug the passenger side 02.... did that and it runs like a bat out of hell..... and the numbers seemed to have cleaned up some too... being off the throttle in gear rolling around 50-60 mph the bank one short term trim read 1.6% and the passenger read 0.0% stepping on it any would change the values from that to 7.0% on the driver side, and -1.6%.... and sitting at a stop just idling both banks on short term trim read 1.6%..... but it didnt bog anywhere on the quick 7 mile ride.... no rich running that I could tell.... any ideas ? should I unplug the driver side and try that too? like the computer was setup to run without the 02s... I think its closed loop or something ? I know you lose some efficiency but definately runs much much smoother...
