Hey guys I used the method of spraying carb cleaner in spots to check for a vacuum leak and couldn't find any
evidence of one. The MAF I didn't get around to cleaning up today I'll do it in the morning since I have nothing else to do.
To me this all seems like some kind of fuel problem since I am still getting lots of backfire.
Ran the codes again today and I have a few more. P1000, P1130, P1132, P1150, P1151, P1152

I'm going to go ahead and change the O2 sensors since all of these seem to be sensor errors.

O2 sensors normally don't give driveability issues. They may affect your fuel mileage but the the backfire is more than o2. Whatever other problem you have could be affecting the sensors. Normally you wouldn't get bad sensors on both side at the same time. Clean the MAF first. That is cheap.

Can you take pictures of each section of your engine? Top view is fine just to make sure everything is where it is supposed to be. One from the rightside, front right, center, front left and left.

It's as if the car isn't getting fuel. That's the best way I can describe it

So you are going to change the o2 sensors on your offroad midpipe? Ok...

I agree with replace fuel filter... clean maf... reset pcm...

Cleaned the MAF and I'm going to take it around the block and see if all checks out.
The car does have a brand new fuel filter in it.
Reset pcm?
And I'll get those pictures up after I go around the block

After driving the car around the MAF didn't seem to be the problem I still have the backfire and a little hesitation.
Here are the pictures you asked for.

Reset PCM=Power Control Module or your computer. Disconnect the battery and depress the brake to draw the system completely. Then reattach battery and go for a drive so the computer can relearn it's parameters.

You aren't getting a check engine light? Could be a bad tank of gas.

Look closely at this hose here. Make sure it has no breaks under the insulation. I have it outlined in red with MS Paint
