88 tc completely stock except for K&N air filter in stock air cleaner housing. Engine running rough after going into closed loop.Put a new denso 234-3002 o2 sensor in.Changed mass air flow sensor(used).New motorcraft spark plugs.Definetely runs better.Eliminated problem of stalling randomly and idle flucuating when put into neutral.Code 41 is only code at this time.Also gas mileage has gone down by 4-5 mpg.

I'd continue with the ignition tune up stuff; I.e cap and rotor, spark plug wires, etc. Also check for exhaust leaks around the manifold, turbo before the downpipe. I just got done with this as it was causing me some problems. When was the last time you changed the PCV?
88 Turbo Coupe: Front mount intercooler, MGW short throw shifter, full coilover conversion, tubular control arms front and rear, svo front brakes, vacuum assist brake swap, manual steering swap, GT35R turbo with external gate, pimpx ecu, 60lb injectors, 3 core aluminum radiator, Boport 1.5 cam, gutted upper, corbeau fixed back seats, and the list goes on.

Which part of the EEC tests did the code 41 occur in, KOEO/CM or KOER? It makes a difference with codes 41 & 42.

My guess is a vacuum leak. Carefully inspect all vac lines and IC couplings. Consider a "poor mans smoke test" using a cigar or pressurize the intake to look for leaks.

What, if anything, might have been done to the car maintenance wise just before the problem started?
Have you run the fuel system diagnostics: http://turbotbird.com/techinfo/Fuel_Syst...ostics.htm

Another possibility ifs a failing / out of calibration VAM. CHeck the VAM output voltage (BK/W wire to W/BK wire) at 1000 RM hot idle. Volts should be around .5 V to .8 V or so. Also be sure the VAM isnt gunked up and the flapper door is not sticking. Do you have a spare VAM you can try?

The original was definetely a problem.New (used) vam seems to operate correctly.
