Did you test the O2 sensor?

If you dont follow advice, don't ask for it.

I don't know how you're state conducts tests, but CA is pretty strict and the rolling dyno does not involve the turbo.

Spark plugs get changed like every 30,000 miles. So I'd doubt that's it. I guess could be o2 sensor. If its the original one there's a good chance its bad.

Didn't have time to do any tests, still getting info and then will follow advice!

IS unplugging the vacuum hose from the FPR just as good as introducing propane into the system? I don't know how to do that.

I changed the plugs and brought it back for the emissions inspection. It failed the first go-around on the dyno and then passed the second round with flying colors.

Careful on Ocean Parkway...there is a police chopper that tends to fly around there at night to help the state troopers. I know because ive seen the spotlight before .

They won't be able to catch me. Maybe they'll get Tom.

Speaking of that... We have to get together!

Let's try in the next few weeks. Maybe it'll still be 60 degrees.
