After more reflection, I think you need to focus on the 11mA reading at hot idle. That is just 'way too much enrichment. On a cat/lambda car, we would have a go at the mixture and read the on/off ratio of the lambda control valve.

But in your case, I think what is happening is

a. the CIS control unit is getting a bogus signal telling it to enrich. This could come from the air or throttle position sensor, temp sensor, or a vacuum sensor (if it has one).

b. the control unit has gone around the bend - the KOEO current is wrong, and it should not be sending anything with key off. If my suspicion is right - that the correct KOEO reading should be 0 like the 103.980 - then a hot idle reading 11 mA too high may be more than a coincidence.

And, I would not rule out a vacuum leak somewhere as a culprit or contributor.
