Default Weird driveability issue with hatch

K i wrote a post a lil whil ago about my extremely lean conditions and hesitating, i started to get a primary o2 check light, so i bought a new o2 from honda, so far i havent expereicned any hesitating but my a/f gauge is still showing a lean condition

now when im driving and for example rush hour today, i can leave it in 1st, no gas, and as soon as rpm drops down to 1000 it will stay there and i can coast forever at 1000 rpm even up hill, my car makes a chugging sound as the throttle kinda blips to maintain that 1000 rpm, it will never stall, at the same time my a/f gauge is showing red ( lean)

idle is perfect, i dont have any vac leaks, can anyone relate to this as a cause for my lean engine?

Is this a wideband gauge?

no, i know they are innaccurate but when my car was running "good" the a/f gauge would bounce like normal and hit green when WOT

not it barely hits the bottom part of stoich and will stay hovering in the red

Does the car still hesitate? If so, when?

As far as I know that's normal. The narrowband A/F gauge is worthless. It doesn't matter what the reading is, so long as it is bouncing back and forth.
