Re: Fuel Injection
Run, don't walk to the nearest installation center, or go buy the kit and
install it yourself.
I installed the Kit and a Borla header in the same operation, and the
results are astounding. The power increased and the fuel mileage increased
as well. Add to that the benefit if actually passing Smog so I could even
drive my Jeep.
The Mopar Kit is approved in California, the Borla header is too. If you
elect to install the kit yourself, do not hesitate to completely remove the
left fender, this will greatly open the work area. Be sure to install the
stickers provided with the kit so the Smog ***** will allow the mods, and do
not forget to use the Check Engine light. The directions infer that the
Check light is an option, but CA laws require it.

Re: Fuel Injection
No. The kit is fully certified by CARB. When you are finished installing the
kit, there are a set of stickers that you will have to affix in the engine
bay, these stickers tell the Smog guys that the stuff that is missing has
been properly removed, and the stuff added is also correct. After you
install the kit, your engine will be tested as equivelent to a '94.

To avoid friendly little chats with the air resources board, restrict
your choices to CARB approved modifications. That the new setup would
pollute less than your current one would be a logical issue, which has
nothing to do with it.

Re: Fuel Injection
I had that problem when I first installed my MPFI. The guy would not accept
that it was properly - legally - modified. I finally convinced him to at
least look it up by the CARB number on the sticker. He found that it was
indeed an allowable modification, so he passed the visual and moved over the
diagnostic machine. He pressed the button that said the motor was modified,
and the computer immediately spit out a Reject letter with an 800 number to
call the referee. The ref said that I was fine and to go back to the Smog
Shop. The owner of the shop said the guy that did my Jeep was new, and
clueless. His senior Smog Guy was on vacation until the following Monday and
if I could come back, he would do the test for without additional charge.
Anyway, the senior guy really knows his stuff, and I passed with flying
colors. I have smogged three times now, each time at the same shop by the
same tech.
