2003 5.4l troubles.

Truck has been pulling P0172 and P0175 for a while. Unable to find the source. New MAF. No vacuum leaks found. (Not sure what else to check.)

Need to hunt down the cause of the Rich codes. I’m annoyed!
OBDII readings on a closed system.

Idle
LTFT B1 8.59%
LTFT B2 -1.56

2,000 RPM
LTFT B1 -1.56
LTFT B2 -6.25

Since the MAF is new, check the PCV is clean. You can pull it out of the valve cover grommet and spray some carb cleaner through it to clean it. Check the fuel dampener on the fuel rail is not passing raw fuel to the vacuum tube ( ruptured diaphragm ...). EGR valve not stuck open.
Does your motor oil smell like fuel ?

PCV is only a few months old, as are all the hoses attached to it. I will check the fuel regulator!

Ran my OBDII on it for a quick second. Levels don't seem absolutely crazy, but are different.

Fuel dampener seems to be working well. No leaking. Oil does not smell like fuel. Will have to check the egr valve.
