I noticed a few weeks ago that on my non-turbo '93 eclipse all of my fuel trims were high. Low was maxed out at 140, mid was around 135, and high around 130. Anyways, I replaced my o2 sensor because I noticed on the logger it wasn't behaving correctly. After that, my fuel trims got better, but my low was especially way off, still around 135 or so. I then took my whole intake apart, knowing there were probably some leaks. I put all new gaskets on the TB and intake, replaced all the seals on the injectors as they were cracked, and put it all back together. Now I'm noticing that my low fuel trim is STILL at about 125.

I guess the problem is either in the maf now, or in the fuel system. Do you guys have any recommendations as to what I can do to figure it out or have you experienced anything like this and what was the solution? I would put a pressure gauge inline with the fuel, but that seems like a huge pain with the stock fittings.

Post away!
 
Nobody has any idea?
 
I'd do an intake leak check and check your fuel pressure.
What do your plugs look like?
Any stumbling or rough idle?
