After testing and ruling everything else out, I've concluded that the output driver from my ECU is probably blown. I rigged up a simple circuit using 4 resistors plus a pot that I'm going to use to manually apply variable current to the EHA to see if it affects the mixture while the engine is running. If it does, that pretty much confirms the ECU is damaged.
I had not thought of the ECU being bad, I have no Idea of how to test it, I did remove the EHA and made an atempt to reset the fuel threw the two M/M adjustment but to no avail. the pot is new and so is the OVP. My wife took the car this morning and said it has stalled every time she lets off the gas pedal.
