Default Closed Loop and Idle tuning 90mm

I'm working on a 00 Camaro and for some reason the car won't go into closed loop, what besides the closed loop enable temp will keep the car from going into closed loop? Anyone have some pointers on nailing down the idle on a 90/90mm big cam F-body?

That may have been it. We pulled one of the O2s to tune it and we probably never reset the code. Cartek did the orginal tune and we're still finding things that are "out of the normal".

Bad o2 will keep it in open loop. Are they switching?

If it's indeed one of our tunes, it was done with LS1 edit a long time ago, since edit at that time didn't have all the tables to enable true "open loop" the O2 signal wires had to be cut so the PCM would not learn on some vehicles. Just reconnect the wires if you have to, one on each side a couple of inches above the front O2 connector. There was no HPT or EFI live back then.
We have been using HPT and EFI live for a couple of years now and with access to all the tables that we need to access there is no need to do that any longer, all we do is disable it in the software in order to run open loop with big cams, etc.
