Not above 5K RPM [ WOT]

Have him do an 02 sensor test .
You can also check to see if the O2 is reading lean condition when the sig wire is to the ECU is disconnected.. if it does , then a vac leak is suspect.
Both the EGR and Purge valve can be leaking on a 104 HFM system and you will not hear/see it b/c the leak is internal to the vac system........... my first suspect after 02 test verification on a 104 would be purge valve
