The car normaly has a BBK off road X pile, and I have installed the stock H pipe with cats in order to pass this SMOG crap. Ever since I put all the SMOG parts back on the car seems to idle rough, and is much quieter... it just seems to be muffled down to the point that it is choking? Could there be something else wrong?Maybe it is just because I am not used to it? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>migs66/92</b> <br /><small>Member # 4811</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(2005,0,11,18,43,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I had problems smogging my 92 also but after installing new cats new O'2S complete tune up new egr it turned out to be the water pump it went bad and the car was running to damm hot.

I had the car done 2 years ago when it was all stock and it passed fine, but they just put probes in the tail pipes and ran the car where it sat. Did the rules change, or do they usually run the car on rollers? I have no idea... I think it is time to move to another base just to avoid this SMOG stuff. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
