It depends on the poster. I'm engine off at most opportunities - at lights & low speed P&G. But not during most high speed P&G.

Open loop is enriched operation, when the ECU isn't on its fuel map. Cold engines run open loop. When the engine warms up, modern engines go into closed (more efficient) loop. You need an Ultragauge or Scangauge to know which mode your engine is in.
