Hey guys,
So my recently acquisition of my '97 Mustang has lead to the inevitability that I must now get it smogged in order to complete registration (as the guy who sold it to me has literally just barely been over 90 days since he last had it smogged...), so I'm gonna need to get it smogged.
Problem is, with it running as rich as it tends to run, I doubt it would make it far in terms of emissions. I'm pretty sure any smog tech would probably rip me apart if I brought that thing in as it is.
It's got a tuner chip in the center console, so I'm pretty sure that's what's screwing with the emissions (and triggering a check engine light to boot), but I'm not sure how to remove it.
Anyone have any tips as to what I should do? Registration is due really soon on this thing and I need to get it smogged and cleared up ASAP.
