This is somewhat counterintuitive, the "default" mode should be too rich, it is if only the O2 sensor fails, but if the ECU fails, the engine still runs, but much too lean.

maybe i have been under this same misunderstanding. i always thought the open loop mode was rich, to provide richer mixtures in the upper RPM's and the O2 sensor was there to bring the mixture back to a leaner condition for emmissions, drivability and gas mileage. if it works backwords from this, the way you say, how does it not go too lean at WOT?
i think what MCA was saying is that if he changes the idle mixture from say 14.7 to 14.2, that the mixture across the whole RPM range and WOT should go richer by .5 points.
i had done a test of this with an LM@ in the past, but i had a fuel line issue back then, but i think the mixture did follow this, dont hold me to it though. so craig, there is another test you can do when you get the LM2. when i get it i will do this again too.
