Idle RPMs are lower than previous, idle is rough, engines rocks badly, fuel consumption, obd2 reader live data shows no long term fuel trim % at all idle or when driven.

This could be a sensor issue, but long term is a calculation based on a number of inputs including short term, so let's start with what the short term is reading.

I am attaching a chart below that will help with determining if they are rich or lean.

So, I am going to assume we have a lean mixture which would mean a vacuum leak or low fuel pressure issue. So, let's start by checking the short term and if it is lean, use this guide to see if there is a vacuum leak:

Once we know this info, we will have a better idea which direction to go.

Thanks
