    Goodbye Project Deviat1...

    Its for sale :) $100 for a bad A$$ Robinair unit As for when I get a roller, that will have to wait a while. Once we move up we'll be staying at the in-laws for a bit. Hate to start a project in their garage... Fun as that may be :)

    Goodbye Project Deviat1...

    Ha, no not for a while. I'm moving out of state, and with my funds as tight as they are, I had to let it go. I'm still driving a newer Lexus V8, but I'm gonna miss my pony. The first car is always the worst to let go. I've been wrenching on it for over 10 years myself, had it go through...

    Project Deviat1 will no longer be with us, he's moved on to greener pastures and an easier life.

    oh thank god it passed. Car is being sold tomorrow, that would have been a deal breaker. * One trick to lowering your HC... Unplug your PCV valve and cap off your manifold. Theres LOTS of HC producing stuff in there.

    Ok, I've jumpered the EVR to a test battery have, and I figured that if I suck on the EGR supply port (with a hose) and tap a switch that supplies power to the EVR so I can see if it even does anything, and sure enough, it restricts air to that EGR, at least enough to move the diaphragm. I am...

    Voltage Meter Fluctuates after new alt install

    voltage regulator is internal on the alternator. Do the lights dim with the gauge? Mine has done this regardless of what alternator I've used. It may be a phase issue with the diodes, take it in and get it tested. It may actually damage your battery cells if the phases are now overlapping...

    Another CA Smog thread :)

    I am testing my EGR Position Sensor right now, and I am getting no resistance reading between ANY of the pins, so I think I found why my sensor doesn't show movement at all :) I am going to the parts store to verify with a new part, and we will go from there. Hmm.... No go on the EGR sensor...

    CA Smog Help - EGR

    If you are referring to the stock replacement unit available then yeah, it works wonders, but I have not used the individual replacement cats myself. I am using a good used one. I have a spare if you need and are in the area.

    CA Smog Help - EGR

    Yeah with it removed and vacuum applied do you see the pintle moving? Mine held vacuum, and collapsed the diaphragm but it did not move the pintle. I actually soaked it in cleaner, and tapped it with a hammer then it worked like new again not getting stuck.

    Another CA Smog thread :)

    Okay, now I just tested the vacuum at the EGR, I had a T coming from the EVR, the EGR, and to my gauge. Am I supposed to read something like that? somewhere around 5-10in when the EGR is turned on? Or am I doing this right. I'd hate to spend another $40 for nothing if this egr isnt doing what...

    Another CA Smog thread :)

    Ok, I just took a video of the EGR during the EGR test, and it did not move AT ALL. I've gotta check fuses, and power to these valves next, what do you guys think, maybe it didn't move much if anything, because there is quite a difference from 0in of vac to 8in of vacuum on the diaphragm Anyone...

    Another CA Smog thread :)

    Ok, ran the test codes again, KOER - *Correction 94 - TCC/AIR system 44 not 4 - Thermactor fault 33 not 3 - Canister or EGR system Fault. *Now I'm going to dump these and see if I have the same problem, or if these were just stored codes. KOEO 85 82 Now to clear the codes, what do I do again?

    The Balance test gave me back a #9 after running three times straight. Will be going in a bit, just need to know if my MSD might be better disconnected for this test?

    Another CA Smog thread :)

    Yeah but is he in the other desert like you? Thats quite a drive, then again, it may be worth it. I'll be heading to the sniffer in a few, I will try out the balance test in a bit, but where would I hook up a light, my check engine light doesn't light up when I run the tests... ALSO: when the...

    Another CA Smog thread :)

    Yeah it should be the EGR first. Otherwise its a super Lean condition that causes the high temps in the combustion chamber, or too much advance on the timing. At least thats what I gather from all the sites I've picked on all day. You'd be surprise how easy it is to clean also, just as long as...

    Intake Install Issues

    Yeah, spout out, means you see the Base timing of the engine. Twisting the dizzy advances the timing no matter what. The computer merely advances the timing based on the program and the rpm of the engine based on certain parameters. I would of course set your base timing within 1-2 degress +/-...
