CEL and Short Term Fuel Trims

1998 Boxster, 81,xxx miles. Have been fighting a persistent CEL with various codes, most common of which is P0150 and P0130. (P1319, 1318, 1316, 1317 were present at the start of all this and have since gone away during troubleshooting) Short term fuel trim runs 25% positive on both sides at idle but at any rpm above idle (currently 800 rpm) fuel trims go to zero then fluctuate within 5%. Long term fuel trims around 3%. Suspect vacuum leak at idle that is so small it goes away with any throttle because of course idle is the maximum suck in the intake. Have checked for unmetered air leaks with smoke multiple times. Found a few minor leaks around clamps on intake manifold crossover and found a crack in the idle air control valve and replaced it. Replaced fuel cap when an evap code popped up in the mix. Have a new AOS and rechecked all the connections. Replaced front O2 sensors with new Bosch and appear to be functioning properly on the real time O2 sensor graph. New MAF sensor, Intake manifold has new seals. Fuel pressure checks out ok. Running out of places to look. Having said all this, the engine is strong and idles perfectly, no hint of a problem other than the CEL. So are the short term fuel trends the clue to this problem, which to me indicates a vacuum leak at idle, or is that just a red herring throwing me off the scent? Thanks in advance for any ideas!
