i had the exact same problem with mine,i changed
cam sensor
air flow meter
both lambda sensors
new exhaust manifold and gasket,as old one had cracked
new rocker cover gasket,as oil had soaked the plug wells.
then eventually,fitted a new cat,
cleaned out breathers and throttle
a very expensive problem solved.

No.
 SHoRT term Fuel Trim 14.1%
 LONG term Fuel Trim   10.2%

... Are missing the all important + or - to indicate rich or lean trim level. It's the long term figure that's important, as it takes an average over a period.

As I understand it, if it was +10.2% for example, that would mean it was adding injector duration due to a lean condition. And obviously vice versa for a minus figure.

Although coming from a v engine, and seeing the light tripped from + or - 24% and above, those figures don't look massively ott imle...

but you really need some input from one of the tech2 guys on here tbh... :-/

If that's the case then it's adding fuel as the lambda is seeing a lean condition.

First thought Air leak, but there are non you say...? Tried the carb cleaner trick? Does it hunt?

ive had a really good look around and all vac pipes seem sound,ive cleaned out the throttle body,when you put your foot down it does seem to be hesitant,idles perfect!it had a genuine maf and both lambda sensors last year fitted by previous owner. :(

I suffered this problem on my 2.2 petrol for a long time ... im trying to find the posts i had on it but the search thing is not finding them .
Live data readings would be a real bonus if you can find someone with Tech II or "My Naff Code Reader" etc and i could compare them with my current readings ( no mil lit ) to see whats different .
Im 99% positive mine was cured with new maf however ,  but you say you have changed it so id be interested in comparing live data .
