Highly doubtful. Even my old eecIV mustang wil drop into closed loop after a max two minute time delay. Most time it's much quicker.

Sensors get up to temp quick with their own heater circuit and I'd say even in those temps it's in closed loop in less than 30 seconds.

Does it cause this with stock tune and custom tune?

Turbos run better with cooler dense air.

I don't personally have any idea why. But clearly another symptom.
How do your other sensors look when data logging. Intake temp??

Could just be the dense air made up for the rich condition enough to make it more drive able.

I would say the answer lies in a drifted sensor, wiring problem (chafing, or corrosion) or a leaking injector.

What do your LT fuel trims do when you increase the throttle a few thousand rpm for a minute or so?

For what it's worth my truck is currently throwing efficiency codes whenever the temperature drops to freezing. It clears whenever the temperature goes back up.

So yesterday did a bunch of maintenance. New plugs, coil boots, cleaned map, air filter, and checked o2s. Truck had been running slightly better with temps in the 30's...and now both o2s are sooty.

Taking that into account, I did everything I could to make sure I was getting good spark out of the coils. I added dielectric to all the connectors, and to the outside of the seal on the top of the coil so when it slid into the tubes they wouldn't bunch up(been having that issue on a couple).

Truck is running better than it has in a while now after adding that dielectric to the connectors. This has me wondering if maybe the connectors are getting loose/sloppy and not getting full power to the coils, causing misfires. Or possibly moisture/condensation inside the connectors. I dunno, will keep driving it and see but saw a great improvement in the 100 miles I have put on

I would still like to see LT and ST fuel trim data...
That would show you if you have a rich lean condition.

Be interested to see it too now that it seems to be doing better. Got a new phone not long ago so have to figure out the code for the elm, hopefully tomorrow night can get a lil info
