Re: emissions crap on an 89YJ
Your mileage may vary on the EGR. It is easy enough to try it with and
without but the smog cops want an EGR for sure and mine had to pass up to this year. The engine cam is also designed for an EGR. I found with my setup running ported vacuum the EGR caused a bad delay in the gas pedal response or bog. I have some delay now because I just had to have it's last smog so I am set manifold vacuum for the distributor and the timing dropped a couple degrees with the EGR in place. I am going away this weekend and am going to switch the timing back to ported and kill the EGR first. It makes a major difference in throttle punch. :-) I also use two new wires when putting the computer to sleep rather than mess inside the wiring harness. It's easier.

I did an engine swap on a CJ while I was in CO. When I moved to CA and tried to get it smoged I ended up spending a couple of thousand dollars buying all the obsolete smog parts and getting it to pass. The referee kept failing me and aksing if I had taken it to a certified smog technition. I finally got the hint and took it in. Once I paid the smog tech about $1k and showed to receipt to the ref, he passed me. What a racket!! Anyway, think hard about this. If you do make the swap, keep ALL the old parts in case you have to put them back on. My $.02 |
