?over heat during a smogż
I am trying to get my 94 fd3s to pass smog in California. goodluck to me
They have those new dyno smog testing machines and when I tried to it got part of the way through the test before the testing guy aborted the test because the overheat light came on. The guy had a big fan pointed directly at the engine. I wonder if pointing the fan more towards the oil cooler under the head lights would work.
I had the car on the highway for about 10 minutes before the test.
some specs:
after market radiator with twin fans (temperature controlled)
new(ish) 13b <1k miles
battery has been moved to the back
I was think flushing the radiator from what ever has been sitting in there for the past 8 months would help. I would use only filtered water because San Diego's water is full of minerals (at least where I live)
Is there any more input the community could offer?
