ect, maf, o2 sensors, air temp senor are the major sensors that control fuel trim. hook a scanner with data stream and go from there, if you already havent. I think you have since you know where your fuel trim is at.

look harder for vacuum leaks, mine was similar to that and I found the EGR gasket was ripped so I could never find it at idle...

did this just start hapening? try taking out the programmer and put the stock tune back in. as stated before look again for vacuum leaks, exhaust leaks

I could not find my leak until I pulled the egr off the intake when I had given up and was just going to replace all the intake gaskets...
