Throw a carb on it if it's been tinkered with too much. No matter how much I hate to say it . Unless you have the cash to get the EFI straight.

I don't have a problem with EFI messes because I'm an electrical guy by trade and love it. But it's not for everyone, that's for sure

"Throwing a carb on it" isn't as cheap as it sounds... trust me.

Yeah, but it doesn't sound like he knows anyone that can fix his EFI problems, or has the equipment/know how to do it, and knows alot more people that know carbs. Just my .02

It's only a couple hundred dollars to get an ok carb setup no matter which way you hack it.

I am in no way supporting carbs, but in some cases I think it's needed when too many people who know nothing about EFI mess with a car. It's too hard sometimes to get it back to square one.
