Good point. I route the o2 sensor cable such that ignition noise is not recorded with few exceptions and for those I can tell what is noise and what is the base signal. #7 does have some ignition noise at high rpm but the base o2 signal is evident and still way leaner than the others at that high rpm. The computer voltage is too low to influence the o2 signal.

Was this a matched set when you started or just the stock injectors?
Well I swapped the injectors and reran AFR tests on the four odd bank cylinders. Nothing has changed so it is not the injectors. Vacuum leak is unlikely and I am not sure if it would even have any effect on a MPFI setup like it would on a carburated or SPFI system where the fuel is mixed with the air before entering the intake manifold. I just do not know but would seem like not. I do have earlier AFR data on all eight cylinders where this latest lean #5 and #7 cylinder condition was not displayed but the ECU did not have the latest ECU reporgram. TBC
