Now that i know the problem is only in "Open Loop" operation, is there anything i can eliminate right off the bat as i try to trouble shoot?
It can't be a vaccum leak or it would happen in both open and closed loop, correct?
I might be loopie (well, we know that), but I think you have your loops backwards.
OL is when O2's are not used (Cold motor, WOT, etc).

CL is when the motor is warmed up a little and O2's are used.

I wanted to make this distinction - people who reply would probably want clarification. good luck.
