Something is not right.
4.5g/sec at idle <— lot of air flow at idle
-25% LTFT <— too rich, ECU trying to lean it out.

If you changed the PCV valve is it the chrome version? The black one is for the Manual IS250.

Also check that the vacuum switch on the intake manifold is not stuck open. Pull the hose that's coming under the intake pipe. Then disconnect the plug from the switch. If it has vacuum at the port it's open. Should be closed with no power to the switch.

It does seem like something is not getting metered behind the MAF. Searching I found on the Cobalt forums. The guy had a crack on the air cooler. They couldn't figure it out. P0101 kept on coming back up constantly.

As you said you didn't see any vacuum leaks before. You wouldn't be able to catch the switch with hoses hooked up. Again this is just trouble shooting.

Don't look for it. It's for supercharged, or turboed cars.

"Intercoolers"

Aside from checking from what was advised, can you hook up your scanner up again?

-- Key ON only
-- Engine OFF
-- Look for MAF value g/sec

Please list it here what values you get.

Thanks.

I'd say reset the ECU pull the negative on the battery. 15 minutes is all it takes. Then the long term fuel trims learned are at 0. Then go from there if the banks go rich immediately, and throws a cel. Something is definitely wrong somewhere.

Remember after ECU reset the car won't start on the first try. If it's too fast the car will stall first. I normally hit the ignition to the on position wait until the AC does the cycle check for the servos. At this point I put my foot on the break pedal and start the car. Then the car won't stall out. After it starts let it idle until the rpms stablize. Which in turn is about 10-15 minutes from a cold start. Don't touch the gas pedal.

Check your readings once it stabilizes.

Here's a good read about resetting fuel trims from the Volvo forums.

Those MAF readings are good.
Should be around <0.58g/sec w/ key ON.

Im with Mike with his suggestion.
Clear out memory. and see what trims do after that.

I disconnect negative from battery and leave car for 30 min and after this i turn on engine. Wait 20 min and have this:



I disconnect pipe from vacuum switch like you say and dont have any vacuum. I replace it and now it opens and closes quickly but fuel trims look like always.
So i disconnect again pipe what you say and look at fuel trims. Without this hose its look like in idle:

short bank1 = ~ +4% - 10% (always positive value)
long bank1 = ~ -24%
short bank2 = ~ +4 % - 12% (always positive value)
long bank2 = ~ -22%
Maf rate are around 3.68 g/sec

For what is this hose?

edit 2nd
When i disconnect this hose from other side vacuum switch i get this value

The hose is for the fuel Vapor. Coming from the EVAP canister. If you enduced a vacuum leak. All the numbers should be high positive numbers. Your's seem to stay relatively low. That vacuum leak at that position should've of pegged them out at +20 or more easily.
