Default 1997 Honda Accord running rich, hesitation/stumble

I have a 1997 Honda Accord 2.2L non v-Tec, that is running rich and has a slight hesitation/stumble under more light throttle. When you put the throttle to the the floor the fuel trim seems to 0 out like it should and there is no hesitation. The engine has very high miles 340,000. I put a new head, head gasket, water pump, timing belt, balancer shaft belt and more, did a full tune up on it as well. The STFT seems to be around -14 to -27, the 02 sensors might be having issues cause they seem a little goofy watching the voltage swing specially the down stream sensor, but I just want to make sure something else isn’t making them act up. Any ideas on things to check would be great i can also post more test results from the scanner.

welcome to the forum. when you replenished your radiator, did you bleed the cooling system? if there is air in the system, it may cause the hesitation/stumble or rich running

No after thinking about it I don’t think I did do a proper bleed on the system, the car is not over heating or running hot at all. Another guy had informed me that my negative fuel trim numbers are actually a lean number not rich. My STFT at idol is -11.0 to -14.0
