it only happens during closed loop? i would check if the oxygen sensor is working correctly. Next would be the MAF and the ECT.

which of the 4 would you suspect rather then replacing all? i have put in the downstream after cat. no change(the wires were there when i got the car but no sensor) and is there a way to test them with dvom?

You got 2 oxygen sensor upstream, which is before the cat. I would get those checked. And no, you cant get an accurate reading with a dvom. You would need a lapscope as the sampling rate is much faster.

your not suppose to blow it with compressed air lol. use CRC MAF sensor cleaner. Make sure you are cleaning the 2 hot wires inside not the the long needle, that's actually the IAT. do a search there are many threads on how to clean it.
