The "crappy" mode is called fixed operating mode. the engne will even run with the ECM unplugged in this mode. It is a sort of "non-tailored" mode where the engine will run but not well. Runs better warm, runs bad when cold and warming up. They figure if this is a fail safe mode that it makes the most sense to have it run (sort of) well when warmed up.
