Having a high negative long term and high positive short term fuel trim value along with low engine load at WOT means you have a clogged catalytic converter. Oh and also definitely change out those spark plugs, mine were still functional when i picked up my car, but it would take a little bit on the long side to start the car until i changed them out, oh and also probably a good idea to change out the battery if it looks a little on the older side
I want to put a full exhaust on so that will clear up any issues with cats.. And I will do the rest of what has been mentioned.
