Hey all, hope everyone is doing well, i have a 04' 4.6 explorer that I recently noticed that bogs down while idling, just small hick ups every 20 seconds or so, second thing i noticed is my exhaust smells rich, i hooked up a scanner and have no codes, checked live data and my fuel trims from what I've been researching are high, one bank is 18% and the other bank 12.5% these are the LTFT readings the STFT readings on both at idle are around -1.6% to 3% im adding a picture of what the scanner showed, its just a $20 basic one but it works. I've tried looking for a vacuum leak with carb cleaner but everything passed, no misfire while driving runs good it just burns fuel, I've also cleaned the throttle body, MAF sensor and even tried leaving the battery off for a few hours and nothing, tired running few cleaners through as well, i have a lot of black soot around my exhaust if that also helps, and inputs are welcome and appreciate!
