IF you setup your basemap correctly , you shouldn't have to fool with any of that.. battery offset comes to mind.

Yeah, my first guess would be battery offsets messing with; or just your first 4 colum values at the cruise rpm's... If your engine is already fully heated, and you didn't just start driving from a stopped heatsoak condition, I am pretty sure it's just fuel table issues. I have found sometimes that one column will want to be alot leaner than another; and this in some drivig ranges will cause a lean spot when reading from the lower of the 2 columns. What's your fuel system specs? Pump? Injectors? Fpr?

injectors- dsm450cc pump walbro 255 stock fuel pressure regulator! i tried to make the map as close as i can and i made mdifications to those ect and iat tables that was the 1st thing that i did before i even touched the tables! most of the points hit my target af or is really close unless i come to a stop or idle for a period of time! some of those points that i hit will change from 14.7 to 16 or even 17 at crusing

One time my car would lean out when there was an above average electrical load, if the fans switched on, or the headlights came on, etc... I tried all kinds of thing to solve the problem and it turned out to be an issue with the ECU. After I switched out the ecu I never had the problem again.
