Message	1. they don't hold the throttle bodies open 2. Don't keep a fast charger on battery 3. sometimes the spark plug seat gets a little dirt on it and doesn't seal properly. (clean if off). Your numbers are not to bad, but it seems strange to me that 2,4 are low and not 6. The back cylinders are the ones that run the hottest and the leanest. Rerun the tests on 2,4 with a fully charged battery and the throttle bodies opened.
