Default Re: Need help getting 1991 back in operation

Where in CA are you? Just so you know you are not alone in having great difficulty getting these cars to pass on CA. It has been reported many times over that CA has actually tightened the qualification numbers to a level well under what was required when the cars were new. The state in its over zealous new age thinking is actively trying to get older cars like ours off the road. They make no exceptions like other states do for “classic” cars.

Along with what others have posted I suggest you check what chip your running. Many owners have “upgraded” to a performance chip. So let’s check for obvious first. I’ve seen quite a few that current owners had no idea they were there. Undo the 2 nuts that hold the ECM in place, lift it out and turn it over without undoing the wire connections. Undo the plate underneath and look at the chip. There should be a paper tag on the chip with the code BFXB. Performance chips will typically have the makers name and such.

The info you posted does indicate your on the rich side of things. Xfirez51 will no doubt chime in on that.
