Massive vacuum or fresh air leak. Might consider a sensor check, they could be telling the computer misinformation, like engine really warm coolant at operational temperature, air charge temperature incorrect, O2 sensors froze at a fixed setting. Then it could be a weak fuel supply, bad pump, plugged filters.
