      plugs wires and coils have less then 400 mles on them
      oil has about 75 miles on it

      so recently

      it seems to be running decent
      but these codes dont trigger a SES but they come up on the scanner

          the maf is showing "normal" numbers on my scanner
          but who knows
          what do you think they cost?
          40-50?

                    there are many reasons it could be running rich. to start i would look at the freeze frames, write them down, then clear the codes and see if they come back.

                              MAF is fine
                              im thinking it may be the plugs


                              i didnt change them after the rebuild

                              so im going to do that
                              espically after it seeming almost as it was missing
