Extra air = lean condition.

3. Fuel System Issues

  • low fuel pressure
  • weak pump
  • clogged filter

4. Faulty MAF Sensor

  • incorrect airflow readings

5. Wiring Issues

  • damaged wires
  • poor connections

🔧 ADVANCED DIAGNOSIS

1. O2 Sensor Test (Multimeter)

  • 0.1–0.9V oscillation
  • stuck low = problem

2. OBD2 Live Data

  • O2 voltage
  • STFT / LTFT

👉 no fluctuation = issue

3. Vacuum Leak Test

4. Fuel Pressure Test

  • ~3–4 bar

5. MAF Quick Test

  • unplug → test behavior
