I'm not sure what the specs are, but that does seem a bit low.

It looks like your fuel pump is getting weak.

This can cause all these problems

I remember when jpc first tuned it air fuel on idle on wide band showed me 13.6 to 14.2 now on idle it's showing 14.8 to 15.2

Fuel pressure was always 55 on idle now it's showing 52 to 53

It makes sense. As your fuel pump gets weak, less fuel goes to the engine. This makes the O2 sensors read lean, causing your fuel trims to go way positive (in an attempt to correct the lean condition).

Ok on idle it sounds like its has a little low burp in the mufflers

What do you suggest I do

What would you do if it was your car

Someone told me it's intake vacuum leak it does this also and causes fuel trims to rise also

I'm fairly certain you need a fuel pump. I would wait for other members to chime in before making a decision/purchase though.
