what if he takes one of the ic couplers or makes some kind of turbo leak? That way he'll probably be boosting around 1-3 psi and probably pass.

Getting up to speed isnt all there is to it. They have a dyno that simulates driving. It forces them to do some hard acceleration, hight speeds, and tells when they need to shift. Honestly I dont think there is any way to possibly test withouth boosting. I think I may loosen the IC coupler in an effort to keep boost down, I already put the stock cat on and that keeps it down some. All that along with wiring the airpump to be on at all times I thing should do it. Hopefully in an hour or 2 I will be all through with this crap.

How important is the EGR? Having the wires snipped for the PFC, will that make a huge impact?
I just failed again. Everything was better than the previous run with the stock cat but still not enough to pass HC or CO.

I thought if you have a ten year old car you could just spend a certain amount of money trying to get it to pass and they would give you a waiver. Atleast that is how it works in MO. I had to spend 200$ and they had to pass me.

My problem is that I havent spent hardly any money on getting it to pass, only thing I have had to pay for is spark plugs. Everything else was either mine or loaned to me. I guess I could have people write me up receipts saything they sold me the cat and ECU etc. But if I do that it is only good for a year then the car can never get a waiver again as long as I own it.

I just changed my oil, the old stuff with about 2500 miles on it was pretty strong smelling of gas. I wonder if that will make any difference?

Bumping thread for a little help. Can anyone tell me how to "block" off the charcoal canister under the throttle body (as referenced several times in this thread).... the tester looked for it, so I don't want to remove.

Thanks!

Believe all you need to do is pinch the line running from the catch tank to the UIM (att). Of course if they are looking, they'll see the pinch (but i doubt they're going to pull off the intake tube to see that

I go to the BP off Lee hiway and pass no problems, but then i'm stock

I'm curious...why would you want to block the charcoal canister? doesn't it feed evaporating fuel into the intake manifold?

I USED to too... they burned/melted my bumper by not installing the exhaust vent right, and then told me to get lost when I brought it to the manager's attention.

Good gouge. Sounds like Lowest common denomintor at play. Probably too late, but you couldd complain to the state that certifies and regulates the testers

Anyone have a part number for the the pipe/check valve that goes to the cat (from air pump)?
