HC.........................718.9.....................157............Fail
CO.........................13.34......................1...............Fail

This is w/the MSD Box. During the test, done around 25mph, black smoke going out of the tail pipes . I still have to change erl, erl filter,plugs. I'm going to see about connecting the )2 sensor wire to the one in the T-pipe & see if that all makes any differenc.

BTW, Got the title today :lala: :lala:

Didn't know it was spwewing out. BEsides, gives me a baseline to tune, and still gotta figure out this running rich problem. I cleaned up my plugs, they were new, all of them covered in black soot.TPS is good, but now the fuel pump isn't running Another thing to troubleshoot

I'm a bit concerned about e checks when I move becuase I will most likely end up in a city with e checks.


What happens if you fail repeatidly?

most of the time if you prove you have spent over 400$ to try and fix the problem, they will pass you.

Well, some of the Accel wires got toasted fromthe fire, they're getting replaced tonight or tomarrow. I'm also going to see about a "mod" to the egr& see if it'll help clean up the intake charge.

AS far as the fuel pump goes, I just plugged the harness to the a/c relay & it runs as good as it has so far.

If you are pumping enough unburnt fuel into the exhuast you may have destroyed your cat. If you still fail after you fix you major miss fire problem replace the cat.
