Ok, so try to target your old code first. The developer toolbar would greatly assist you in this - F12 in most common browsers. If you're unsure how to use it, hit Google for a tutorial, but the basics are that you would activate the toolbar and then select/inspect an element, or drill down through the markup manually in the bottom pane, then use the 'styles' pane on the right to edit the CSS. You can tick the boxes to deactivate values, type over existing values, and also insert new rules/lines to do live edits on the fly, directly in the browser. It's really very useful.
If you suspect that you have lots of excess markup, try removing it back to the very core structural stuff (again, it might be worthwhile referring back to your original template - from a backup or a fresh download), and then gradually build up the page again. I've done that many times, even on a day-to-day basis (to some degree) in my full time work, so I appreciate that it's not much fun, but sometimes you have to take the bull by the horns and go back to basics.
