Hey there,
I have an 87 eta. I was checking out the air filter to see if it was dirty, and removed the upper/lower air box. When I put it all back togather, and plugged in the afm and this other harness, the car cranked but wouldnt start. I put this little cover on top of this thing, and then tried a couple other times and got it to start.
I was wondering what this was exactly. I also was looking to just throw a cone filter in front of the afm to free up some space since the filter in my airbox was dirty. If this part was necessary, where exactly would i put it?
Its the thing ziptied down next to the air box.
Lastly, I tried to go through NJ inspection. For those who do not know, NJ only checks emissions and for a cel. However, I did not even have the cel bulb in but they did not even acknowledge it.
Anyways, the cars p/o basically put a whole newer magnaflow catback exhaust, looks pretty new. It has the o2 sensor aswell (not sure if it was replaced recently). Anyways, they did the sniff test where they check for CO in the tailpipe at idle and under load.
At idle the car varies from 900-1k, so I assume its a vacuum leak or something along those lines, which I will be looking into. However, when they put the car under the load test, the lady kept falling above and below the rpm range. The car failed by 1 point on the CO scale. Could this be because of the lack of staying within the rpm range?
I figure w/ a lower idle, there will be less emissions, so I am working on pinpointing the higher idle. But I am just wondering if the lady was at fault and ruined the CO emissions scores due to falling out of range.
Thanks again
