ALL engine computers are adaptive. They have been since the 80s.
They will pull timing when knock is detected, add or remove fuel injected based on o2 sensor readings. Learn new throttle plate locations as carbon builds up on the throttle.
Sometimes they dont have limits to adjust and get kinda dumb. For example Ford fusion turbo engines will have slightly high readings in the low pressure fuel sensor, the pcm trying to adapt will completely turn off its own fuel and the car will die. It will restart and give you about 30 seconds before it does it again. You can unplug the sensor and drive it home.
Similar to if the adaptive fueling is flooding your engine then you can unplug the o2 sensors and it should let you drive it home.
