You should have said, "moron, then why does it have a CARB number?" At least he didnt send you to the referee(I've seen it happen).<br /><br />As for mass air meters, to avoid problems like that, go back to the stock meter. Gives the lil pea brained tech less to think about. Then throw back on the C&L when you get home.

Not worth it for a $29.95 smog wouldn't you agree?<br /><br />not that I don't find the smog process incredibly annoying of course, but I understand why if they see one non-stock item under the hood that they will typically ask you to find another shop---- not worth the risk. <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>blue88lx</b> <br /><small>Member # 2970</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,0,2,15,57,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Thanks for the help guys!!! <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
