Of course, you are right!!!! The guy you know is mistaking the throttle body for a carburetor. Older GM cars had throttle body injection, which we used to call laughingly "calibrated drip" carburetors. At that time, GM was trying to meet emission control and power issues without investing in genuine individual or "port" injection. Eventually, they joined the rest of the automotive world with sequential fuel injection. Go prove him wrong!

Some cars had throttle body injection which placed a single injector in the throttle body. Some one might mistake this for a carburator since there are no injector rails on the engine.
But by '95 it should all be fuel injected, especially on a Cadillac. Even Honda (the last major car maker to give up carburettors) had gone to fuel injection by '95

It is a fuel injected throttle body, which looks like a carberator but has 2 to 4 injectors in the throttle body, and they SUCK!!!
It was an "in-between" fix for Chevy and Cadillac.

I even have owned around 8 motorbikes now and that i can emphatically state that gasoline injection is far extra ideal to any carburettor on the two a motor vehicle or bike for huge-unfold use! they have not got as many gasoline deprivation themes and gasoline intake is extra advantageous as a results of accuracy of the gasoline administration structures. means grant is smoother and the motorbike will stir up and run smoother interior the chilly. In iciness gasoline in a carburetors can ice up and reason working issues too. Now, while you're into muscle motorcycles and custom a carburetor could nicely be a eye-catching element.

You are correct. The throttle body EFI looks a lot like a carb, but isn't. That's what was on my GMC pickup.
What would be the point of trying to run both anyway?

One method or the other, not both, but you're right, the fuel body does look (at first glance) like a carburetor.
