Check the Temperature sensors (you might have two). Failed open (high resistance) typically means the engine is cold and enrich the mixture

Check for reference voltage at the TPS. No reference voltage usually means the TPS thinks it is WOT and will enrich to compensate.

Do you have a PC interface? This is the fastest way to look at these values.

BTW, any Motec tuner/operator should be able to plug in and diagnose very quickly.
+1 on a failed sensor.
I had a "coolant" sensor that failed and that screwed around with me for long time until I found it.

Any tuner should be able to help, most can move between different systems.
