Default Lean O2 code with BLM 122 at idle

What would cause this issue? O2 voltage swings between 220 and 840 mv at idle and BLM is steady at 122. I still get error code 44.

Should I add more timing? It's at about 20* total at idle.

Thanks,

More timing will make it leaner. 122 is rich not lean. Not sure how you are getting a lean O2 code with that. May be lean under load setting the code.

I'd hesitate to recommend it needs timing at idle without seeing the other operating conditions and where the timing is set, but it could probably take a little more.

122 is rich though. Did you go through the manual procedure for checking the 44?

I'm with JackDidley. It doesn't sounds like idle is what is tripping your error code. That seems to be somewhere else.

If you clear it, does it come back while idling?

The car is just sitting still idling no load. It gets code 44 after idling for about 3 minutes or more in closed loop.

I was thinking that maybe there is too much oscillation and there might be a way to dampen it?

Oscillating is what a narrowband sensor is supposed to do. It is when it isn't oscillating you typically have a problem.

Do you have any form of data log?
