AFR 10,7:1 spikes in closed loop

EUDM CTR EP3
Hondata K pro / PLX wideband (to ELD, wire cut, resistors removed)
my spec is:
RBC + GruppeM
KiddRacing 4-2-1 race header (decat)
BuddyClub ProSpec 65mm
The car is running fine but I have very rich spikes after changing gears or intermitate acceleration and deceleration. Is this normal in closed loop? Open loop seems fine.
I have another issue after could starts (closed loop), when I try to put very very light throttle TPS 4% the AFR goes wide lean and the car hesitate, almost stall. If I leave the pedal TPS 0%) or accelerate further the AFR turnes in to the "range"
many many thanks for help!
here are the logs:

What sensor are you running closed loop from?

I'm running the oem sensor (narrow band).
many thanks

post your calibration as well

Why are your MAP and TPS changing continuously?

on this part?
I was hitting the gas pedal, just to evidence the low AFR spikes on very fast TPS changings. Is this normal? A small amount of unburned gas hits the exhaust and generate this "short" AFR figures?

There may be spikes at throttle tip in, this is pretty normal

The spikes occurs during abrupt tip-out, on mine.

Has this been professionally tuned?

yes, on street and dyno (not by me of course) :)
car runs ok, I'm only triyng to understand the nature of these "sparks".
a better zoom look. I think there are the inertial gases resulting from the abrupt tip-out, so normal condition....

That is tuning related. Look at the short term fuel trim right before you let off and you will see that it is adding up to 14% fuel and then you suddently let off it still wants to add that fuel for a split second. I would have your tuner take a look at this.

sorry but I can't find that specific moment with the short fuel trim issue.
is it on the first datalog? i need to study this "to death" cause I'm confused....
many thanks for the help!

Change your graphs to show short term fuel trim and you will see it.

Ok! I was looking at the other datalog. the specific moment:
so, in a "perfect condition" once the TPS goes instant from 100% to 0, the S.TRIM also should decrease instantly?
I found another strange thing. I have the emissions error checking disabled (OBD II, secO2, PA , etc) but the secO2 enabled.... Is this ok?
many thanks! I started to study all the kmanager/k pro training and now I begin to understand it much better.
Thanks for posting such an important learning informations. The automotive and DIY culture in the US in outstanding!
