Is there a chip involved here and if there is could it have the O2 sensors turned off someway?

My guess is that the AIR system is not shutting off when it is supposed to. That would cause some of the air that is supposed to go to the cylinders to go to the exhaust instead. Since it is mechanical, the higher the rpms, the more air gets taken from the cylinders. So you end up with too much gas going into the cylinders and the O2 sensors may be getting confused because of all the unburned air getting put into the exhaust. All the extra (unburned) air in the exhaust may also be cooling the sensors enough to confuse them as well.

Does the car run ok before it is warmed up?
