Default WTF: car won't go into closed loop?!

I have an 02 Z06 that I have been tuning with EFI live for six months or so. It was pretty much where I wanted it. A couple of weeks ago it started running rich and kind of crappy. I put the lap top back on and it is commanding 13.6 AFR and my LTFT's and STFT's aren't working. They read 0's as if I had turned them off. It has reverted back to Open loop. This all pretty much started after I had my column lock replaced.

I have gone through and double checked everything. I even went back to the stock tune and changed all my pertinent perameters from there with no luck. I am lost. How can the car not go into closed loop. What else can I check.

I went into my "Commanded fuel when in open loop" and changed the perameters to 14.68 throughout as a test and the computer compensated for it. The AFR went from the commanded 13.6 and measured 13.6 with a WBO2 to the commanded 14.68 and measured 14.68. How the heck did it do that? The VE and MAF tables were untouched.

Some one please help.

An O2 sensor fault code will put you in open loop, check the codes.

All of my stuff for the 02's was dissabled. So I re-enabled them and it didn't make a difference. I don't have any codes. I will replace the sensors and see what happens.

What do you see for ECT readings? If you are warmed
up and at idle MAP readings you would be commanding
1.000 EQ by the table, stock. Maybe it thinks you're
not hot.
