Yeah but I don't know if I can open the log and read the data. You could try.

Im betting on intake gaskets. My reason for this is simple, ive seen it hundreds of times. Basically what you are seeing is air is being metered through the MAF sensor. It is then calculated and fuel is sprayed depending on the amount of metered air. Then combustion. Then your o2 sensors read the aif/fuel ratio. The problem is that after the MAF reading and before combustion and o2 reading you are having un metered air enter thru the intake gaskets. The determined amount of fuel is sprayed for what the MAF is metering but obvuously not the excess that enters unmetered. Best thing to do is have a smoke test done and you will see exactly where the leak is. You could try the carb cleaner trick but thats not as accurate
