i live in CA (which has very stupid car laws) and was wondering if when u swap, lets say, a 3sgte engine will it stop you from passing the smog test? and if it does stop you then is there any way to prevent that? even if it is just for the drive over to the smog test place? thanks.

well your welcome. maybe the OBD test will become part of california laws too. you guys have to PAY for your emissions tests? well other than bribes? its free here in illinois, u just get the car seized if u dont do it. yea it seemed like they didnt do anything. they just plugged somethin into the car under the steering wheel and let it run for a minute and i was done. didnt suck up any exhaust or check the fuel tank or do that various speed thingy. BUT.. since u have a 94 you have OBD-I, so i dont really think that specifically applies to you. go with a 5th gen alltrac engine. |
