if the a/f's are varying that much with no change in the throttle/ rpm/load then you have a fuel problem or a BIG intermittent vacuum leak.
I guess it could be the FP--but they just usually die--i havent seen them wax and wane like that.
Maybe injectors--dont know?
How old is the front o2 sensor?
I think it is good to get a real compression test--but even on a low compression engine i dont think the numbers would look like they do?

Injectors were cleaned/serviced for this rebuild
front OT is proabably old....I can only remember replacing the rear.
thats the plan .....shrimp and jalapenos will be on the grill for lunch

good call and thanks Shady.
I will post the results around 9ish but things are getting worse...I can feel more hesitation, more blips and what not so something is failing and I am not confident its compression (but then again I am completely ignorant).
on the p0661 SSV circuit low code would that cause the SSV do mechanically do anyhting funky? or is it basically open or closed?....that would affect AFR's right

ok so I suck and shady is the master of telling the future
compression sucked *** and the motor is coming out tomorrow
front rear
440 520
440 470
430 470
I am going with either side seals or corner seals are still glued....but as everone has wittnessed my fortunetelling skilles are about as good as my compression
on a more positive note I look forward to doing this again, I just hope not to find that housings/irons got fucked up

well it tis what it tis and honestly (excluding the pain in the ***) I think this is a good exersize. it wont be as bad as it was last time because I wont have to clean 60k miles of gunk off of everything and I know what I am getting into (i was alittle overwhelmed last time....TMI)
