Running VERY lean at WOT up top
Re: Running VERY lean at WOT up top
The 0.xx V readings indicate you may have a vacuum leak. Check all your vacuum lines/fittings. If you are getting unmetered air into the engine, you will get a very lean reading just as you are.
Re: Running VERY lean at WOT up top
All the vacuum lines that connect to your intake manifold. You should also check that the intake manifold is sealed to the heads. A good way to check for a vacuum leak is to spray some carb cleaner around the area where the intake manifold meets the heads. If the engine revs up, you found a leak.
Check all the vacuum lines/fittings that connect to the intake manifold (brake booster, evap, etc.).
A vacuum leak ill be more evident at WOT than cruising, as far as O2 readings are concerned.

That's because of the narrow band of measurement. When the AFR moves away from 14.7, the sensor just says it's lean. You can't tell "how lean". It could be 14.9 or it could be 16.0! the scale is definately NOT linear (a wideband sensor is linear).
