Hey guys....

Any online documentation about the Smog Removal on our cars? I would rather not have a CEL light on when I'm done, so what should I do (besides a TwEECer) ????

Here are some pics.....

Here's my bling-bling car stands and new floor jack....



ARGH! My insides are showing! :o



I knew my car could get the front wheels off the ground!



I need some shelves and work bench bad huh?



It still looks new.... but we poured out PURE BLACK coffee looking tranny fluid. It was in BAD shape. :x



The smog is all coming out now. It was REALLY in the way to unbolt the exhaust. So I've finally decided to lose it all except the highflow cats. :twisted:

Mines all removed and nada on the CE light...the only way you should have it is if you don't set the plunger 1/2 way in on the EGR....gotta be set mid-way, otherwise it'll go off..

I pulled codes awhile back and had nothing stored...I was surprised as all my stuffs gone.... thought something would show up

First I've heard of the EGR needing to be changed. Glad I asked.... I'll look at it and see if I'm smart enough to know how to do that. LOL

Zip-Ties kinda criss crossed thru the screw holes and over the plunger,will suffice..Thats what i did to mine....I used a homey set-up the 1st time...was driving along and BLAM...the CE lite goes off...W.T.F....the homey set-up fell off...the Zips never budge....just secure the plug back to something so they dont show...

Click to expand...


It's just the stock setup.... the muffler shop removed the front two cats and then replaced the main two cats with high-flows. You can sure tell the old pipe from the new huh? That old H has 160k on it.
