This is a long shot, but there may be a possibilty of a leaky fuel injector also causing rich mixture. To check it do a leak down test, turn the ignition on let the fuel pressure come up and then turn the switch off. Watch the gauge and see if it holds pressure for at least 15-20 min. Pressure should not drop anymore than 10 psi.
Did you try this ?
What about the MAF - u stated earlier that you disconnected it and it ran better right ? Its possible that if u swaped it with a known good one - it was not. Try another swap maybe.
Also - id be curious of the gas - maybe try and drain the tank with the green wire to POS (on the harness close to the coilpack) and try some fresh stuff. If for not other reason - to eliminate that.
Other things to consider - coilpack / module - have them tested to ensure they are good. Bad plug(s) - possible but less likely.....
my injectors only have about 150 miles on them MAX. they should be good. however, i will do the pressure test to see if they are leaking
i disconnected my MAF, and the problem didnt go away (in fact the car actually stalled out). the only way i can truely test it is if i order another sensor, and thats kinda pricey. id like to troubleshoot some more and narrow things down abit before i drop that kinda money on a sensor that may or may not be the problem
i did drain the tank and refilled it and got no improvement
im also thinking possible coilpack/module... but there just as pricey as the MAF deal, so i want to test a few more things before i spend that kind of $$ on a guess
thanks for the help/suggestions guys. ill keep you updated if i make any progress
