OK... Upstream o2 sensors are the ones that impact fuel. They will fluctuate from about .100 to .900 volts or 100 to 900 millivolts. Depends on scanner being used. 500 is the middle. It should not stay there though. It should swing from 100 to 900 and back constantly. That is normal operation. If it is staying over 500 it is running rich. Because of this, the fuel trims will go negative. This means the computer is reducing the injector on time to cut fuel.
If the o2 sensor is reading less then 500 more often then it is running lean. The fuel trims will go positive which means computer is adding fuel by increasing injector on time.
Perfect fuel trims are 0. The goal of the short-term is to keep the long term at 0. The short term will change constantly. The long term more slowly. The short term fuel trim will increase and decrease to try to get the long term to 0. The "total fuel trim" is the short term and long term added together.
I will add more later. Got to run.
