 there are a few different "families" or that is what the id bute tells you

{ 2. What is efi332?

 a home built (sorta) system based on the motorla 68c332 mcu

 no idea, did they aske you to do anything? (SAAB use gm ecms now?)

{ 4. Will I need to learn C++, Java, Perl to understand the variables or write

 C and assembly language helps IF you want to do something special, otherwise just  use a program that is already written

{ 
{ 5. Am I on the right track with this?

not enough info, what are you trying to do?

{ 6. Is there a good supplier of GM style connectors for adapting components?

 yeah most delco dealerships can order the connectors, then there is the wreckers ( one up here doesn't even charge me to get wiring stuff)
