Fuel trims oddity


Recommended Posts

2009 Journey, 223,000 miles, 2.4 original motor never did timing chain service, original transmission, I keep oil fresh, I've replaced many parts through the years of course.

The motor runs great.  I've had high fuel trims for a long time (+20 total) so I just recently replaced the intake (had runner flaps code).  

 

Now (75 miles after replacing intake) the fuel trims are...

LT +20, ST 0 when idling in Park or Neutral.

LT +3, ST 0 when idling in Drive.

 

Any ideas why such a difference in fuel trims when in Park/Neutral compared to in Drive?

I believe the 2009 had the 3.5 eng not the 2.4 if I remember right?????
