If you are wayyy too rich (generally to the point where the engine starts to misfire)then your o2 meter will read fully lean. I've seen it happen many times. The person trusts their gauge too much and keeps adding more and more fuel. Meanwhile smoke is pouring out the exhaust. I'm not saying thats your problem, but just be aware of it as it catches out young players.

By the way, removing the airpump makes the too rich at idle. You will generally notice a bit of a surge at idle and fluctuating vacuum. But its not normally enough to make clouds of smoke. When you get your ECU, adjust the fuel at idle until the engine makes the most vacuum. Maybe (fingers crossed) your problem will go away.

I'm not 100% sure as to what you want to know. So PM me, and we can discuss it in more detail.
