pull an injector? some people are nuts!
what fuel pump are you using and is your resistor pack hooked up? i think thats the #1 cause of running super rich at idle on a 3s. then put a cat in there and i think you may pass. ask your mechanic what he recomends. you can try making friends with the mechanic too. tell him all about your swap and how much time you put into your car, and the throw in "i never thought that it wouldnt pass. is there anything i can do to get a sticker? " most of these shop owners are car guys with project cars just like yours. you just have to relate to them on their level and show that you are a car lover and not somoene trying to bust them for giving out stickers. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

[right][snapback]262514[/snapback][/right] Think before you speak. If you don't know what is going on with the mechanics of a car, don't be so quick to insult. If you pull an injector and run the missions test, the car will be burning the fuel of 3 injectors instead of 4. Burning less fuel will lead to less emissions. This is only to be done for the E-test, when you're done, put the injector back in. |
