[QUOTE]Originally posted by rollininmy50: [QB] I had kinda the same issue when I went to smog my 88. It had mass air flow, but the smog guy wasn't sure if this was a California car. From what he said is , if the light comes on when starting the motor then it's possible it was not built for California . Other states did not require the light on at koeo. You may look into this with your local smog people. I had such an issue I scraped the shell and put everything into a newer fox shell. But also be sure non of your bulbs are out. In the non mass air stangs on the lower right of the dash bezel was the check engine light I believe, should be 4 bulbs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
