Re: [BaadAssGremlins] 258 woes: HELP Me Please!

First, thanks to everyone who responded. Eddie, I can't believe you went to all that trouble for me. I owe you one!

Regarding the "stuff", the Pacer has a classic PA plate, so it is exempt from emissions testing. My dilemma is that one of the carb vacuum lines is marked as going to a "spark port". What the hell is that? Does that matter or should I just unhook all that crap?

What are these things and are they important?

EGR/CTO?

Spark/CTO?

Hmmmm....correct except some states won't allow that. Chances are all those emissions little lines and doodads have long since outlived their usefulness, however, some states require they be hooked up, and will run a emissions test. Some states here like Texas have a 24 year crepper rule, that is each year it advances. So anything 24 years old or older is exempt. I tore out all emissions shit from my 82 Eagle years ago, and what a difference it made, that car is a stump pulling MF at over 200,000 miles. Before with all the emissions wires, hoses and crap hooked up, homeless people pushing shopping carts faster.

don't use the CA standards on your car those are specifically for the CA market.
