It sounds like an open loop vs. closed loop issue to me. The CTS is a possible source giving the ECM faulty info but there could be several other causes.

Data logging is a good place to start. It helped me diagnose a vacuum leak that two mechanic friends thought was a fuel system issue. It will also let you see where you can fine tune the programming to suite your particular setup.
Agree - get ALDL cable and WinALDL program. It is must for any TBI equipped car or truck!
