CA smog questions

[kevinyvng]

Hey guys, upon reading many old posts about using a 100k ohm resistor to bypass the EGR temp sensor for Code 32, will this pass the CA smog test? Or does it only gets rid of the CEL.

I have the sensor wires taped together with the plug + resistor still, so visually it looks normal. 15 miles in, the CEL hasn't turned on yet. (Or at all hopefully.) Thanks in advance.

All they do is plug up to check for errors, if your error is gone then you?re gucci

If your car was a 2000 or newer this would work. Unfortunately in your case the vehicle will be subjected to a dynometer test with live tail pipe emissions readings. If the CEL turns on at any point its an automatic fail. There is a good chance you could pass if its only a temp sensor problem.
