Re: Fuel Trims, MAF, VCDS, Data-logging, CSE Mathematics + Reading GRAPHS!

Ensure the oxygen sensors are plugged into the correct connector for each bank/ecu and not switched over/mixed up

If same

Swap front o2 sensors left n right

Could be faulty o2 sensor miss reading causing missfire on one bank

Re: MRC stage 2 advice
