Cfi I believe.. it doesn't have fuel injected.
this is a part that was on the side of the card mounted with 2 bolts and was right in front of the throttle. Looking through the booo I thought it was called a throttle position sensor. I'm probably wrong

CFI is central fuel injection. If you have a carb you do not have it.

Do you have a photobucket account? You can upload the pictures, they give you an embed link ([img ] ....[/img]) and you just cut and paste that to post pictures. It's a bid hard to see the pics in your profile, small size.
