im not really sure. the bpt valve is supposed to allow manifold vacuum to the egr to turn the egr on when there is sufficient backpressure in the exhaust and load on the engine. try restricting the exhaust to create backpressure (restricting, not completely blocking) and see if the car shudders or dies. if the car does, the bpt and egr should be working correctly.

to get it through ase's and actual work experience, you need 2 years in a shop, your A6, A8, L1, and clean air car course, advanced clean air car course, 2005 update, and 2007 update. then you have to take the test.

pay depends on experience, and since im young (21) and my boss is a penny pinching piece of shit, i get 11/hour. but at the dealership, i would have been getting paid at 18.75/hour flat rate. too bad i got fired.

yes. the anti sperm sensor in the cabin goes off and turns on the check engine light. the computer will see fail and aids, and immediately stops the dyno so the car is crashed into the wall. then it fails it.

Yo I can't believe you're still up!

There's some great info in this thread.

So my spare car's a '91 S13 with an OBD2 KA in it... as long as the engine passes the sniffer test and visual, they're not going to try and plug anything into it to read codes? Basically, I can just pull the CEL bulb and be straight? What about at the ref?

Also, girlfriend's car is an out-of-state model... can I buy a 49-state cat off the 'net to pass smog here, or do I need a special CA 'absorber' cat? Where should I go to get one? She's got 100k on a 2001 Sentra and it threw a code, mechanic she took it to said replace cat and o2's?

+1 to this... "astute" techs will notice that the CEL doesn't come on when the car goes through the self test... notice when you first turn the car on all the warning lights come on... this is so you can check if the bulbs are dead. wiring up the CEL to the oil light works great because it will come on with the self test and then go off once the car is up and running.

There are things you can do to the Auto ECU to prevent it from throwing a code, I haven't done it but I've heard its not too difficult, Manaul ECUs go on eBay and the BST all day for $60...

not sure what years yours is but there's a nissan sticker on it with two big letters cross reference those to figure out what it is

15 = 89-90 240sx AT (KA24E) Cal
25 = 91-94 240sx AT (KA24DE) ?

3D = 95 240sx AT (KA24DE) (mfg after 9/94)

NF = 97-98 240sx AT (KA24DE)
J7 = 97-98 240sx SE AT (KA24DE) (A18-H64 GA4)

Manual ECUs:
10 = 89-90 240sx MT (KA24E) ?
24 = 91-94 240sx MT (KA24DE) ?
28 = 91-94 240sx MT (KA24DE)

3C = 95 240sx MT (KA24DE) (mfg after 9/94)
CA = 96 240sx SE MT (KA24DE) (A18-E27-G46)

^thats a list I've been working on, it's not complete so if you've got something else then you'll need to google about. My car has "HU" because it's an early model 95 with an AT ecu...

on your s13, no, theyre not gonna plug the smog machine into the ecu. as long as it passes the visual check engine light test (aka the check engine light is unlit) and it passes the normal visual and sniffer test, you should be cool. i dunno about the ref though, those guys are crazy.

out of state model cars are only required to pass the federal emissions test, which usually is just lest strict. its still the same test however, just the limits are a little bit higher. im guessing the code was "catalyst threshhold below efficiency" or some shit like that? that code usually goes off when the difference in the front 02 and the rear 02 is not what the ecu sees. so it could be just the cat, or just the 02 sensors. or both.

I got a NA chassis rx7 with a jdm turbo swapped motor. Should equal the same as a USDM turbo car, but i got an aftermarket intercooler, exhaust system intake yadda yadda.. If i throw some cats. would it be possible to smog the car? since its a motor swap not original for this model im curious about that.

Ive seen smog guys not worry about intakes since its just air filters. Possible for my car to pass visual on a motor swap since its basically the same as a turbo model?

intakes usually dont matter. as long as the MAF is on the intake, you can have a snorkel with a penis head air filter sticking out of your roof.

about the engine swap, if the technician doesnt notice that its the jdm motor, since the turbo motor was offered in that year, and all the emissions crap is on it (air injection and egr i believe, as well as cats) it should be fine. worse comes to worse, if he notices its the turbo'd engine, he sends you to a ref.

techn9ne, you're the man. I'll try to get the S13 ref'd instead of just selling it/paying the fine.

So on my g/f's car, should I just reset the CEL and try to smog it first, before buying a new cat? Maybe the 100k mile cat can still pass? Most places are still "pass or you don't pay" right?

dont do that. when you reset the CEL light (aka disconnect the battery) on an obd 2 car, all the monitors are reset in the ECU, and must be run again. (catalyst monitor, evaporative monitor, 02 sensor monitor etc) if the smog machine notices that more than 2 of these monitors are incomplete (there are usually around 6 or so) it will fail you anyway. what i would try is to reset the check engine light and drive about 75-100 miles. if it doesnt come on after that, try and get it smog'd. if it does, try and find a friend with a scan tool and see if its the same code.

240 coupe 93 still throws code 32 egr after i changed egr valve,egr bpt,egr canister valve solenoid,egr metal tube,as well as changing all vac lines behind ka near fire wall. noticed that it will turn on during constant speed ie only on freeway where im in 5th gear 3500 rpms at 60mph or so then itll turn on..sometimes it will suddenly turn off but sometimes stays on til i reset ecu any ideas what it might be

i passed slow speed with timing set @ 31 i know out of spec but failed high speed runnning rich could that be tha problem?
