Missing the Buz -or- My Fuel Distributor is too quite andmy car runs like

[David Head]

Not true - the frequency valve (duty cycle) will go to preset settings in the open
loop mode (low temp, O2 sensor open/shorted, WOT switch actuated)  - but it is
operated from the ECU/fuel pump relay and is always on when the car is running.
