Just add, the 2.3 is more prone to engine noise than the 3.0. One of the more common issues I see in those is leaking chain tensioners, but if it does it more often I would be looking into chain guides. I do hear the injectors but the chain noise in evident.

make sure you don’t have any exhaust leaks under hood, it can suck the fumes in through the hvac systm.

I’ve worked for both brands in dealers. Ford has just as many recalls that are just as dangerous as gm, but no one says a lot. The new line of ford turbo engine are junk. When I worked for gm they just started putting the 3.6 in everything and that engine is a joke. I can do timing chains in a 5.4 3v or a gm 3.6 with my eyes closed. It’s all junk. You’d be lucky to lease any new domestic car and make it to the return date without any major engine or drivetrain issues. TRUTH

I maybe wrong but they should change in correlation with eachother, if the downstream isn’t switching I would suspect a converter issue.

It should read lower if a leak is present. However vacuum leaks are (in my experience) more prone to a cold engine and will seal up after engine warms. You may also have a H02 sensor reading erractic or possible MAF issues. If you can read the fuel trims post them. Does it run rough? Also the exhaust manifolds are prone to loose nuts on those, but it sounds like you checked it.
