Has anyone heard of terraclean. Would that be a good option for cleaning injectors

Bad sensors will typically spike the ltft at + or - 12.5 which is the max, so im not too inclined to think its a bad sensor, but if you have a wideband to take readings to verify what the narrowband is reporting that would help eliminate the possibility of a bad 02 sensor.

P.S. fueling issue could be something as minor as bad gas or something worse like a clogged injector etc etc.
Update ran a tank of injector cleaner to no effect. So today I good the car fully warmed up and took another log. And ltft low read 12.5. As you said it may do this due to a bad sensor. Any ideas wich ones to check. Thanks am stumped again 😂

the trims, and closed loop, are controlled by the front 02 sensor (the one in the 02 housing). Since your trims have hit the rail its definitely reasonable to suspect a bad 02 sensor. Especially considering nothing else has changed.

OK I'll change that out so and see if it's any help. The one in the manifold yes? Thanks

ok so update again.. still no luck I've changed o2 sensor to no effect and after resetting the trims again they are not spiking at 12.5 but are still high. I've also changed the coolant temp sensor and reset my tps sensor to 12% I've checked my map sensor and is working and have cleaned my maf. The only leak I can find is at the throttle body shaft. I've been told this will not cause this rough idle as the ecu will compensate for it and it would just idle slightly higher. Is this the case?
Again any help would be hugely appreciated
