    I think you guys are going to love this...



    I hope I am using the tool correctly. LTFT seemed to be showing positive up to 15% for the furst half of the video and then it was generally negative for the second half. Tried to show some throttle response here and there. When I went to Scan Data the values looked negative when LTFT graph was showing positive values. I don't know what this means... Let me know if I should be doing this test differently.

    Quick note: I charged the battery to full and this seemed to cause other behavior. The Relay noises were happening more often, the idle seemed much higher for the first minute than before, possibly sounding worse overall.

    Tested all fuel injectors at 13ohm exactly. Also I agree about the O2 sensor, its just reporting what it sees (crazy ****). I also believe that my exhaust headers may have a small but audible leak if this could be contributing.
