^^^ THIS would be good to verify to at least rule it out; there was a firmware update to some of these PCMs to rectify a mis-calculated alcohol level. If you're not running E85 or anything over E15, the alcohol value should track the actual within a few percentage points and be below 15%.

Post up your MAF reading in g/sec at hot idle. It should be very close to the engine displacement in liters.
Post up the short- and long-term fuel trims, both banks. Does the fuel system go into closed loop?
You can test for vacuum leaks by using unlit propane around your intake tube as well as any vacuum lines or the intake itself.

If the fuel trims are very positive and have been for a while, there may be fuel contamination in the oil, and the trims are going to struggle to right themselves without changing the oil. But that's a bit of an WAG without having more info.

You could have bad O2 sensors or a leaky injector, etc., but without some of these data it's going to be challenging to pinpoint it.
WILL LOOK INTO THIS TOMORROW...I APPRECIATE IT...

JUST WONDERING WHY IT WOULDN'T THROW 02 CODE, LEAN, SOMETHING...

Instead of yelling, redundancy:

Including, but not limited to, everything already mentioned, plus more.
THESE ARE JUST WORDS...NO ONE IS YELLING...

WILL DO SOME MORE DIGGING ON LEAKS...JUST SEEMS ODD THAT NO CODES ARE SHOWING UP...

As an aside and FWIW many in your target audience here would consider using all caps as yelling. "Mixed" case is also easier for most folks to read.

You do you, but understand that the people you're asking for help might not be inclined to be responsive to what they consider discourtesy. :)

No, just standard premium from QT.

then that's your issue. it really common. you need a ton more fuel to run on e80. clear/reset that. it should run better.



after you should probably change plugs from being rich fouled, oil from being filled with fuel and o2 sensors because the ecm does math off them to come up with e%.

That's the odd thing, it runs great. Its only the flooding issue on first start up of the day. I did plan to do oil change and check plugs.

Not showing any codes to reset.

More fuel to run on e80?
