Code 41 or 91 - O2 indicates system lean. Look for a vacuum leak or failing O2 sensor.

I also pull 91 new 02 sensors and I know for a fact the car is hella' rich. You happen to run long tube headers?

Need more info on the computer and the Mass air. The computer is for sure a cobra unit? What is the Mass Air, is it a Cobra unit as well? Just asking since the cobra computer compensates for the injectors in the computer and not the Mass air.

It's probably the o2 sensors.
They are a common problem.

I'd also ditch the cobra computer and meter, in exchange for a stock computer and PMAS meter. Although i doubt they are the problem, but they are certainly a restriction.

the 02 sensors are furuther down and they don't heat up. It's telling the computer it's lean and it's adding more fuel that I don't need My 02's are brand new and no vacuum leaks. Keep giving me code 91. I know for a fact the car is not lean whatsoever....in fact it's so rich it's to the point the exhaust burns my eyes. I have a tuner and pull %12 fuel out a idle just to compensate but its' more of a band aid than anything else at this point. I've yet to have someone tell me how to solve the issue...
