The 2 systems work independent of each other.
In fact if the basic mixture is "close" then the car should run 99% just fine with the fuel computer disconnected.

Both! The computer that talks to the Lambda (at least as far as I understand its function, not even sure what to call it.) is most definitely shot. He was unable to get the ratio to respond to the lambda at a consistent manner.
My idle speed also suffers, but I think that has to do with a bad ICV at this point. I suspect my coolant temp sensor or thermostat is shot too, as my temp gauge jumps all over the place. When it is steady, however, it sticks at 85 ish.
The weird racing issue to my understanding is due to that 'computer', though.
Also, just took it out of the car, and... the pins look like minature statues of liberty. They are so corroded that when I took a toothbrush to the pins, a massive pile of oxidation came off. Almost certain this box is bad, now...
