"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Moe,
My project is a friends 91 3/4 ton Suburban 5.7 TBI. It is running real rich. Doesn't matter if it's when first started or after it gets warm. He said it's on it's 5th or 6th ECM. Replaced CTS and plug, TPS, IAC, and does not set any codes now. New plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and throttle body gasket. Fuel pressure is 11 lbs. Both injectors check at 1.5 ohms and duty cycle looks ok when I checked it with my Fluke 88.

Thinking it must be something in the throttle body. Either the fuel pressure regulator or the injectors. Doing a rebuild on the throttle body next unless you or someone else has a better idea.

The oxygen sensor and map/baro sensor control fuel mixture on that.

If I had to guess, look at the map sensor
