What maintenance has been done to the vehicle? Example last tune up, and what was replaced?

What happens if you induce a vacuum leak. Do the LTFT's start going positive?

How are the fuel trims STFT, and LTFT while out cruising?

What are the STFT at idle?

My MAF with ign on is .48 g/s. From what I've seen up to .58 g/s is a good reading.

Last maintenance was done about 20k kilometers ago. Only spark plugs were changed at the time.
STFT1 and STF2 are 3.12 while idle.
I will check latest numbers tomorrow and update here.
The below screenshot was taken while idle.


Idle

After giving throttle LTFT jumped to -16 and -15.

The primary O2's should be 3.3V of course they will move. That's pretty standard for Toyota. At least modern wise. I could be wrong.

Like "2013Fsport"OS Giken mentioned

Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Below is a picture of what I believe your engine bay should look like. These lines should be all vacuum routing up front.

I'd check those highlighted in yellow. For possible leaks. The ends under the spring clamps could be damaged, or split.

Another Is check the evap line on the body by oil dip stick.

Your evap purge valve is on the left next to the intake pipe?

You can check if its not closing correctly. While car is on disconnect the harness to the valve. Pull the inlet hose, and put your finger on the port to cover. You should feel no vacuum pulling. If it is pulling then there is a slow leak.

Do you notice RPM hunt at idle? AC off?

Is the car bone stock?

I have a can of liquimoly MAF cleaner. Can I use that to check for vacuum leaks.
I have not noticed the purge valve before, I will try to find it tomorrow or during the weekend.
Car is bone stock. No rpm hunt has been noticed. Idles between 750 - 800.

At steady speed on the highway what are the LTFT?

Read the can and see if it's flammable? I use a tube to the ear. Either an empty paper towel tube or roll something up so it's longer.

More questions.
Has this vehicle ever ran proper in the time you've owned it?
Please list all work done.

Replaced?
MAF
Spark plugs (brand) 20km ago?
Port Injectors.
Anything else?

Have you verified there is no mouse house in the airbox plugging it up?

I have never felt that anything is wrong while driving this car. Replaced MAFSparkplugs (denso)Injectors cleaned Nothing is there in the air box. The MAF values are good right? Why do you think air box is plugged.

I sprayed MAF cleaner near all vacuum pipes but didn't find any spike in rpms.
​​​​​​I couldn't find the evap purge valve. Is it the same as PCV. PCV valve was replaced last year

I got a bottle of Yamaha ring free. Can I add half the bottle to a full tank of fuel.

After of all the work that's been done. Was the ECU ever reset?

Try this and monitor the Fuel trims again.

Usually the fuse method is best. Just make sure you wait around 3 minutes. The purge valve should be next to the throttle body. At least what it looks like from the engine bay photo. Did you test with power connector disconnected? The purge valve looks like this see photo below.

I had disconnected negative terminal of the battery for about 5 minutes. The trims I shared are after this.

Im the picture of purge valve you shared which vacuum line should I disconnect and check.

Yes turn the car on. That being said unhook the connector, and the hose thats coming from the shock tower side on the body. Disconnect that port coming on the purge valve.. If that port has any suction it's bad. If none then no need to replace.

Under the car where the mid pipe flanges attach to the exhaust manifolds. Do you notice any black soot leaking? Where the to flanges mate.
