That is what I was trying to say. When the computer detects that extremely rich condition it has the ability to make enough changes to keep the engine running. The regulator on my Z failed and delivered full pressure to the injectors, the car idled really rough cause of the rich condition but I made it home. When the Plunger on the D got stuck the engine stalled cause it flooded and I couldn't restart it. I had to push it back to up the driveway.

They raise the return fuel pressure linearly under boost to increase the fuel to the engine. The computer doesn't know or care about this increase except when it detects something wrong at the oxygen sensor. I think you are right that it matters more in a mechanical system where the fuel pressure is more important.
