  1. While under ½ to ¾ throttle the car will surge and jerk especially in 3rd gear at 3200rpm.  I have traced the problem down to short term fuel trim of bank 1.  As shown in the photos, bank 1 oscillates.  I have replaced both upstream 02 sensors.  I have swapped both downstream 02 sensors.  I have replaced all spark plugs.  I have swapped coil packs from bank1 with bank2 … no change.  I have replaced all fuel injectors. I have replaced the fuel filter in the tank. I have measured fuel pressure… typically about 50psi, but oscillates down to 45 psi during short term fuel oscillations.  I have checked the exhaust back pressure at each upstream o2 sensor.  The bad bank (bank 1) has slightly lower back pressure than the “good bank”. 

    When the bank1 oscillations last long enough, the car will transition from closed loop to open loop.  When in open loop, the surging goes away.  

    I have sprayed carb cleaner around the intake manifold while running looking for vacuum leaks… I have not found any leaks.

    The car has about 130k miles on it.

    The car seems to run fine unless you run at 3200 ish rpm under ¾ load.
