Looks like whe need to have two boards. One for the newbies and somewhat newbies and the other for senior members. I'm sure there's some of you out there that could answer this question, but prefer to watch us make idiots of ourselves while we contemplate what's going on.
Hey Dave don't be like that, I'm sure that if somebody knew what the cause of the problem was, they would say.

I have not had the problem so it is hard to troubleshoot it.
What Beav has put up seems to be valid and I would accept it as the probable cause.
The open loop time, is a problem, hence the electrically heated O2 sensors and quick heat catalytic converters now used on later cars to speed up the event.
