Has anyone here ever bypassed the air injection but keep the EGR intact? I'm currently in the process of replacing my smog pump with a used one purchased from another MUD member. A slightly leaking power steering pump is probably the culprit that destroyed the old air pump, and now I'm scared to...
I would rather delete all this garbage because I live in one of the few County's in California that don't require yearly testing but I would rather play it safe. If and when the rules change, I've got to put it all back on.
Got the old pump out and it's toast. After removing what was left of the veins, it still turns hard so the bearings are most likely gone as well so it won't even make a good idler pulley. In the mean time managed to source a used one from another Mud Member for a good deal. You guys are a great...
My Smog Pump developed a loud squeal this morning and also smoked the belt. Now I'm down a vehicle and unable to locate another pump. Rock Auto and all the other vendors I've searched have discontinued this part.. I don't want to delete the pump because the rest of my emissions system is...
The same kind of idiot that did mine. Actually he is a good mechanic when it comes to more modern stuff. Partially my fault, I told him to " just make it cold," and one cheep Auto Zone kit later, it worked great for about two days. Do the job right the first time and only cry once.
Which port has the R-12 valve? Since it has one 134-A valve I would suspect it has or had 134-A in it. Sounds like someone did a mickey mouse conversion. Know any Bubba mechanics with A/C knowledge?
Lucky mine still works. After reading your post looks like I might try to source the parts now just in case. scary stuff. A/C I can live without but up here in North Eastern Sierras, Heat is a must. All the more reason to keep tap water OUT of your cooling system.
If you want PM me and I can help you get through this. I have quite a bit of experience dialing in 1980's carburetors. I also have some emissions equipment scavenged from another FJ60 I can sell or loan you to get your rig on the road.
Ok. Maybe try the non op suggestion I posted above. If not Get the initial smog done. I bought my 1985 from Nevada. All the factory emissions equipment was still intact and it still cost me $1,000.00 by the time it was all said and done. First follow previous advice from other members plus get a...
