Circuit's 03.5 Protege5

All oil lines are plumbed. Just need to tighten them down. Had to move the PRV to the steering rack since the lines were too close to the fittings.

Past couple weeks been dealing with some bad issues when the car is hot. When its cold it runs perfectly fine. AFRs and oil pressure are good and the car pulls strong. After about 15 mins and the car is hot, I have the following symptoms:

1. Idle climbs to lean 15.6-16 and then kind of stumbles and fixes itself for a little bit, then then does the same thing.
2. Stabs of the throttle at a stop makes the AFRs go super lean ---
3. Slowly holding the throttle to climb to 3000rpm or so, the engine struggles and again AFRs go super lean ---
4. While cruising, AFRs run super lean too and car struggles

I have tried the following:

1. New ZFR5F-11 spark plugs
2. New Hitachi OEM coil packs
3. Replaced vacuum lines from the intake manifold
4. Moved the main set of grounds to the frame rail

Moving the grounds did make cold idle more consistent, but once the car got hot, same symptoms. Actually when I think about it, from first start-up and first drive to and from alignment (15-ish minutes away) I didn't have this problem, even though I had a massive vacuum leak from leaving one of the IM ports open lol. Between then and now all I did was siphon out the old gas from the fuel pump lid and put in a bottle of HEET.

I put in a brand new one when the car went back together. You think the old gas and running lean from the vac leak could have killed it?

How do you know that new sensor was good? If it was an aftermarket one from NAPA or whatever they're junk and often go bad out of the box.
