Default Sensor problem

Hey, I can't tell what is wrong my ls1 runs like crap. The o2 went bad. I bought some cheap ones and they both stay at .5v and never move and eventually throws codes.

What is fucked up is that even when I change tune to force closed loop it still idles like crap. It runs fine driving and acceleration is fine even part throttle but it won't idle right
When I unplug the maf it runs smooth but idles really high. I cleaned maf and I also have a backup maf and it does same thing with both of them.

Closed loop is WITH O2's working. To leave them out you need OPEN loop.

When I removed the emissions crap I put some vacuum caps on the TB one of them came off

That's why it wouldn't run even in open loop
When I was scanning I noticed the iac wasn't doing anything so I bought another one and reset the tps and iac
How long before it learns the damn idle??? If I set the iac with hpt it idles smooth as glass

It idles fine and smooth in gear. But in N or P is bounces around

Sometimes it'll sit at close to desired rpm then start bouncing again


Very annoying

Maybe it figured something out the idle is only bouncing about 50 rpms now
iac only moving a couple in each direction.

Ok as I'm typing this is started bouncing again wtf
