tricks for emmissions testing!!! 700 87

posted by  someone claiming to be kgb on  Mon Jul 16 13:51 CST 2001 [RELATED]

hi guys

it's been a while since i've been on the board... did i miss anything significant?

i know all the things i have to do for the emmissions testing but i think she will fail due to the high mileage, 600,000 (low compression, but even)

so i'm looking for any tricks to keep the old girl on the road

there is: little to no oil use

plug colour is good , even 1-4

fuel mileage is fair for an auto

some stumble when first started but that is just a dirty throttle body and idle valve

when warm you don't know it's running...dead smooth

may need a cat, not plugged though!

i'm looking to get some tricks to keep it on the road, any tricks or advice for a very high miler

it would be a shame to pull this car off the road, it runs so well.

any comments welcome this is for ontario's drive clean test

sincerely

kgb
