Does "O2 F/B Control" Disable Air Pump?
Does disabling the "O2 F/B Control" feature in the powerfc disable the air pump? I would like to just disable O2 feedback for the purpose of AFR tuning in lieu of disconnecting the air pump connector. My air pump connector has seen better days and I don't want to push it by disconnecting/connecting it too much. Thanks.

If you disable the O2 sensor F/B control, and retune the idle and cruise areas , you can actually improve mileage. But then the emmissions will be off.

The O2 sensor is just there for the OEM's to account for changes in the running condition of the car as it ages. It verifies that the cat is getting proper AF mix so emissions are right where they should be.
