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.

Re: Fuel Injection
Yeah, I went to a shop on my first try and they refused me. Wouldn't do it
and told me to go to the ref. I said "blow that" and called a local 4wd jeep shop who I knew installed the kit to see who they used.
