Passed Smog today-- Yeaaaaa!!
Went to my first station and they took one look at my setup and told me I
needed to see a referee. So I had to trapes all the way back to work and
call a local jeep shop (T&J Perfomance in Orange, Ca). They directed me to
a smog testing station who send me to a Test Only station which is what I
needed. Finally, I got to a station that knew what a Mopar MPI kit was.
I'm sitting there waiting while the guy pushes on the gas going for the 15
mph test and I saw a big puff of blue smoke as he started the test. I
thought, I'm dead in the water. I'm gonna to fail. So he goes through the
motions, tests at 25 and then the cap and then he comes and tells me I
passed.
The numbers weren't too bad but the tester (Moon) told me he had seen many
jeeps come through with MPI kits on the and they were much better than mine.
:-(.
But anyway, I got that out of the way for another 2 years.
If anyone needs information about a testing station who knows what a MPI kit
is and is in my area, here you go:
Toma Test Only
822 W. Angus Ave, Unit C
Orange, Ca 92868
714-771-6153

Re: Passed Smog today-- Yeaaaaa!!
Man, you actually gave out the guys name that you paid off to pass
emissions???
Wow...
;-)
I mean, no way an engine in as bad a shape as yours only firing on 5
cylinders can pass emissions anywhere, even in lax areas, let alone in
California....
LOL!
