What codes are you getting? Set & pending?
What has been changed recently (if anything)?
What lights are on the dash?
Does it do this cold & hot?
When was the last time the fuel filter was changed?
Did you inspect the TB to see how dirty it is?
Any rodents building homes in the intake / filter housing?
Basically, more information - good, less information - bad.
I keep getting codes 2195 2196 2197 2198. I have two sensors on bank 1 and two sensors on bank 2. On both banks one sensor says o2 sensor stuck rich and the other o2 sensor stuck lean. Rich and lean on both sides.
I have had many things done to my truck lately. New plugs and coils, new fuel filter, new injectors, new VVT solenoids, new fuel pump control module. Today I am putting in a new MAF sensor and tomorrow new o2 sensors. so far nothing has helped.
First, are those aftermarket parts & do you have the original solenoids?
They are an "easy" change & you could always see if anything changes with the original ones.
Second, it getting worse with heat is a possibly important clue.
I could imagine a massive air leak would cause the computer to not be able to adjust to conditions & run poorly, but "usually" this gets better with heat when things expand & seal better.
Things that get worse with heat (not limited to this list):
Head gasket / coolant leak
Failing phasers
Failing converters
The more I think about it, if you have 1 or both converters "plugged" or partially "plugged", this will get worse as they heat up.
The exhaust will get forced backwards into the engine & cause massive issues with the air / fuel ratio readings.
Is this for sure your issue? Maybe.
Advanced type scanners can tell a tech if the converters are "converting", but most of us don't have high dollar scanners.
You can usually get a regular scanner to monitor converter temps.
At idle & warmed up, I usually see 700'ish deg.
Running down the road, I usually see 1200-1400 deg.
If your converters are "bad" you would expect to see higher values & it won't cool down very quickly either.
Also a bad thing if they are running at 2 different temps.
You can also get some temp readings on the inlet, outlet & body using an IR temp gun.
