Default very strange highway speed B16 performance

WHen the car warms up, i.e. cruising 10 min on the highway, cruising at a constant throttle position at 60MPH, the motor appears to be running out of gas. It seems like the ECU leans it out and I have to touch trottle a little more to get smooth cruising again.

Any ideas?
THis is with B16, PW0 and constant fuel Pressure of 39PSI. Injectors are clean. Plugs and Distributor are fine.

With fuel, it stays dead solid at 39PSI, I'm pretty sure there is nothing wrong with my R foot

i think that may be kinda normal..i drive to california and back here to arizona alot and it seems like that happens a little,nothing is perfect(that is untill i went over every aspect of the motor:air/fuel/spark)i would suggest doing a good tune-up..add some extra grounds..check all your electrical connections and use good quality spark plugs like ngk or denso..good luck

at first it made sense that the TPS could be the culprit but I checked it on my scope and output is perfect. Hmmmmm.

Just for giggles, as long as you've got a scope, check the O2 sensor.
