Default Fixed finally!!

So i have been chasing this problem for awhile on my 04z..sluggish, poor acceleration..NO codes ever. Had my tech2 and hptuners hooked up to see anything..what i noticed was fuel trims all over the place. o2 sensors seems slow and finally my intake manifold bolts were lose. I changed both upstream o2's, and the maf..oem! Thanks rockauto! I tighten the intake bolts to spec, and by the way i believe that was my problem sucking air bypassing the maf making fuel trims nuts! I have a vararam and never before did i hear this suck air till after i tighten the intake bolts.It is finally fixed.. it feels different.. low end and midrange pull so smoothly.. check your intake mainfold bolts!

Im going to guess your sensors were fine. Maybe hold on to those as spares.
