padgett Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The only thing worse than being misquoted is not to be quoted at all. ps Deltona is a fur piece from California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have to have the check engine light not on to pass inspection. A vehicle with a check engine that won't stay off can get a waiver to get an inspection certificate. The vehicle owner after spending a certain amount of money on repairs can furnish receipts for emission/check engine light work to an inspection station. These receipts would need to be for work relevant to the problem and from a registered repair shop. The inspection station can then apply for and then get the waiver to issue an inspection certificate. California must have something similar to this. I don't know what gas is available in CA. I would think a non feedback car would run leaner on gasohol than no alcohol gasoline. I might even try adding a small amount of E85 to dilute the fuel. Nobody wants to put gasohol in their old car but. I don't know how far over the limit you are rich. Maybe the fuel difference wouldn't even help it. ny only dos that on cars 1996 and newer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know now but there was a time where only the lower 8 counties had a much more rigorous emission test, and I still step over the rollers in my friends shop used for the dyno test years ago. California being California, should go the way of NYS and not have the emission test on vehicles older then 1996, but it is all about money.....

padgett Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 How soon they forget. Before ODB there was ALDL (1981) and before that there was test equipment that could record much the same thing. Part of a dig here would turn up a Unisys, Distributer tester, exhaust gas sniffer, portable ignition scope, couple of break out boxes, fuel pressure testers (still use those), and a big Sun "do it all". Have never had a dyno though. If needs must could open a shop for obsolete technology. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padgett Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Well sorta. GM never called them OBD-I. The ALDL connecter was the access point to the early Computer Command Control (CCC) and later the faster P4 system. Back in the bad old daze of early computer cars. there was little commonality. Every car/model/drivetrain had their own setting and had to use the right programming card (early) or the right cartridge with manual entry (I like the OTC 2000 with 93 Pathfinder cart). Today I use a Moates adapter with C.A.T.S. and Tuner Pro RT software for GM ALDL and an Autel Diaglink for OBD-II & EOBD-II systems. Also have Torque Pro, Carly Pro for Mercedes, and Touchscan Pro Software & am working with an Arduino to scan data streams. Instrumentation/reprogramming is another of my hobbies. Somewhere I have a NIB Prince Automotive Computer circa 1978. I'd like to play with the Seville system but is a bit too far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr P, I do not want to be accused of misquoting you (again) but, please read what you posted and think about it and ask yourself what it has to do with the system in this car? and why do you insist on telling us how much you know about an unrelated system? The system in the Caddy is tested with a volt/ohm meter, if the Bendix test box is not available. 2 hours ago, padgett said: I'd like to play with the Seville system but is a bit too far away.

John348 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Came upon this link on MAP sensors for the Bendix FI system, might be of help and answer a few questions https://members.rennlist.com/pbanders/manifold_pressure_sensor.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
