Occurs to me I'd better get my butt in gear to do whatever it is I hafta do to get the VE to pass the emissions test due September - I know we have a few here in the ATL area who got thru it - any help on what I'll need to do?
Setup:
'93 B13 (OBD I)
10k mile VE, VE intake & TB
Pathfinder MAF
JWT ecu
Fuji
3" VRS with Magnaflow cat etc.
Thanx if anyone been here done this.

how is it you have the time to
do it over and over again?
Im having the same problem. I had my car tested last week and I failed because the computer could not find the Cat, Rear O2 and EGR. I just purchases one of those Casper O2 Sims and I plan on putting a capacitir in my EGR. Hopefully that will get me through emissions.
Hoommer in Baltimore? OBI-1 or 2? Let me know if you manage to get your EGR fooled. Ive been trying to get it to work on my OBI-2 SE-R and it just wont work.
As for OP.. as far as I know the VE on its stock low cams should pass the sniffer better then a stock DE .. thats if you have the same exhaust on both with a full catback and so on.
Thanx Char. Haven't tried yet; seeing if I need to fiddle before going in for a 'test' run. Figured boommer was OBDII from his note, and I did read that there are folks who just manage to put a resistor in line somewhere to make the readout cool.

No ATL, i moved down here three months ago and I'm too lazy to chane my location
Yah rex, OBDI is the sniff test. II can be done with a resistor or two. Char, I don't know how to do it, but there are folks on here who have. Well welcome to the deep south, boommer! And you thought traffic was hell in BoWash, I'll bet - - -

Mr eads no need to worry, if they were to put a comp on the car it would not throw any check engine lights. Te only thing you might want to do is put a cat on the car.

I have also found if you put a MSD ign on you car it will clear up the tail pipe emisions. I have had a few cars here in Miami that have passed the sniffer with a gutted ca and MSD ign like a 6 AL
I have the same setup and i put a magniflow cat on and it passed emissions easily. One note though; when i did that, the check engine light didn't go away. My snap-on tool said it was the second o2 sensor, so i guess it didn't reconize the cat was even there. Oh well good luck.
COOL. Thanks all, esp. as always Dre; I followed his advice VERY closely - there's a Magnaflow cat in line in the stock position, and I also followed his advice on getting an MSD to use its rev limiter function - I have a digital 6+ on the shelf - just haven't had the time to get it in there - didn't realize it would also help for emissions. I have no engine codes - the Fuji of course has a place for the O2 sensor, and that's wired in, of course. There is no 2nd sensor. I'll get the D6+ in there this weekend. By the way all, Dre said to me a long time ago that this thing will pass - EVERY time I haven't followed his advice (the most notable is thankfully just the Apexi 'silencer'), I've found out I should have - so you guys who've wondered out loud why I take this guy's word on complete faith (except when I slip - - - ) it's because he just knows more than anyone else on these cars, because he's been there done that more than anyone else.
I took my ve to get inspected, it failed for multiple offenses. A year earlier the de passed inspection in the same chassis after numerous new parts. My NOx is over three times the maximum. I've read that people have passed but few explain how. Without an egr I don't see how a ve can pass. I would love to be wrong, and have a legal sticker. Please post your trials Mr. Eads.
ps Why is it that the people who test for emissions have no clue how to decipher the results?
