Recently, I found a couple problems with my F.I. and fixed them,
now the car runs Wonderful without the O2 sensor hooked up and if it is 
hooked up it runs like it has radical cams in it.


Isn't running like it has radical cams "wonderful"?  I'm always amazed how 
after my car is tuned, the idle sounds more radical.  It kindda makes that 
crazy idle like a Harley where you are amazed that it's running at all, but 
it's idling steadily.  From your description, it sounds like the O2 sensor 
is doing it's job, adjusting the mixture constantly.  When you unplug the 
sensor, the system goes open loop and runs a little rich to avoid engine 
damage.
