I Have a Suzuki grand vitara ( it was a chevy tracker in the states) 2 liters 1999 but i dont think that matters much. That being said, i was checking the fuel trims the other day and at idle they were fine +-3% but once i step on the pedal they go negative quite a lot (-10/-15).
Went for a drive and at WOT trims were 0 but as soon as i step out of it they went negative. Any idea what could cause it?
Yellow line is throtle
Red line is long fuel trim
Blue line is rpm

What bothers me is why at WOT trims are 0 and everywhere else except at idle are quite negative.
Blue line is short trim
Yellow line is long trim
Red line is the sum of both
Red line goes from 0 to -20

Maf brand new and reading well
Vacuum check also fine
O2 sensor good as well
Could a dirty injector cause that problem? Or it will tend to go positive?

If not, maybe put it back on and see if anything changes. Other than that, I can not see anything else to look at except injectors.
The car probably has been running like this for a while, has your oil been changed recently?

Changed oil 1.500kms ago (1.000 miles aprox).
Oil has fuel smell but trims at idle are fine. If it was oil dilution shouldn't it affect trims at idle as well?

O2 sensors okay - pcv sytem checked out. Only thing not looked at are the injectors. as far as slight fuel smell with oil, I do not know if it would affect your trims so negatively at higher loads and rpm. perhaps another forum member has seen this condition before and can weigh in with any other suggeston.
