ok can you tell me where my efi is? and what i can do to fix it? the cats are still on. you can tell its running rich by the smell and i know what rich smells like. its really rich when you rev it up

Not to sound like a D!CK but if you dont know where your EFI is you really need a Mechanic or someone more advanced in cars to help you out.

ummm........efi is a system my friend composed of various components, there is no one component labeled efi......and I beg to differ with your nose..is it a calibrated nose?? running a koer test will determine if it is rich as the ecm monitors lean/ rich conditions and when such is present the ecm will flag the prob
