Getting the car on the road
 

So, this 91 NA i purchased is becoming my DD so my dad can get his truck back. I am picking it up this weekend but I know of a few of the issues It needs worked out. The most prevelant of which is it needs to pass emissions. The smog pump was removed at one point. I have one lined up and will be doing a full tune up as well (plugs, wires, oil change, few tanks of nice fresh gas). What else should i do or need to do in order to pass the sniffer? I would love to get the car on the road, but will not even attempt to get it on the road till i am confident on its passkng and running well.

Shit, you better start praying......lol

I registered to post just once on this forum and say the following :

HAHA

Fucking Spammer. Someone needs to ban this homo.

Shel I hate you.

Oh I posted twice do i see the chatbox now?!

xD

wtf...


i thought i remember hearing around running your tank down to hear empty and putting a few bottles of HEAT before you go get tested. i could be wrong though... it also could be something else... HEAT was the first thing that came to mind when i was trying to remember.

Why are you still here? :cuss:

You don't get to see Chat, but you can see a Banning hopefully.

No comment.

Doh that was one!

Keep pwning yourself. :icon_tup:

heat, ill look into it.

justin, wtf?

Now the heat he is referring to is not that burning feeling in your crotch that you usually get after a night out on the town. Ok?

if you belong to the "other" forum, do a search over there... thats where i seen how to beat it.

edit: heh heh... beat it.

All this crotch burning, and heat, and beating it.... I need to stray from the lounge more!

Get a copy of the factory service manual at the link below and check out all the other emission control systems. If the previous owner removed the air pump, he probably removed lots of vacuum lines and solenoids.

A properly running FC with all emissions components should have no problems passing emissions. At the very least, you're going to need an air pump and a catalytic converter. You may need more depending on what the previous owner may have removed. It will just be a matter of what all you have to rework/replace in order to pass emissions testing.
