carb swap engine light trouble
hey guys, i have a '91 firebird that was a 305tbi that i swapped to a 350 4bbl and mechanically it runs and drives fine but the engine light is always on because the fuel injection stuff is no longer hooked up and i need to get rid of it to pass inspection. so is there a way to trick the computer into thinking its still hooked up? any help would be appreciated

Re: carb swap engine light trouble
Call them and ask what sort of testing will be done on it. Thats what I did. My county just wanted to see the cat converter on there via a large mirror they roll under the car....then they stick a sniffer in the tail pipe. Thats it. I spent the nine bucks for the testing and used it as a tuning aid. Mine has antique tags on it so i never planned on using the test for regular tags, but its good to know that i have a car that is a federal violation of the clean air act, but can still pass emissions
