A wideband sensor should be calibrated to exhaust temp fluctuations. I'm
thinking sits something else.
What comes to mind is a pressurized fuel tank. This can raise fuel pressure
when its warm / pressureized. Easy enough to check, open the gas cap next
time its warm. See if it vents a lot and if the a/f changes.
