As noted by BW, look to causes of excess fuel; air filter, O2 sensor (no MAP), fuel distributor out of adjustment, Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (EHA) inoperative, ECU signal to EHA incorrect.
Dead or dying catalytic converter.

Unfortunately I Do not know exactly what steps were taken. At the time my father was dealing with the car and our mechanic took care of the issues.
What I do know is it has melted the first stage catalytic system twice because of over fueling. So I know both catalytic converters are fine. I don't know the status of all those other parts though. So I will begin to work through those.
I also have the Smog Numbers now.
%C02 = 10.2
%02 = 0.5
HC(ppm) = 249 (Max allowed = 105)
%CO = 6.66 (Max allowed = 0.61)
NO(ppm) = 54 (Max allowed = 945)
Hope that helps.
