Re: Fuel Injection
Run, don't walk to the nearest installation center, or go buy the kit and
install it yourself. I installed the Kit and a Borla header in the same operation, and the results are astounding. The power increased and the fuel mileage increased as well. Add to that the benefit if actually passing Smog so I could even drive my Jeep. The Mopar Kit is approved in California, the Borla header is too. If you elect to install the kit yourself, do not hesitate to completely remove the left fender, this will greatly open the work area. Be sure to install the stickers provided with the kit so the Smog Nazis will allow the mods, and do not forget to use the Check Engine light. The directions infer that the Check light is an option, but CA laws require it.

Re: Fuel Injection
No. The kit is fully certified by CARB. When you are finished installing the
kit, there are a set of stickers that you will have to affix in the engine bay, these stickers tell the Smog guys that the stuff that is missing has been properly removed, and the stuff added is also correct. After you install the kit, your engine will be tested as equivelent to a '94.

To avoid friendly little chats with the air resources board, restrict your choices to CARB approved modifications. That the new setup would pollute less than your current one would be a logical issue, which has nothing to do with it. --- And thank you for actually posting about Jeeps. |

Re: Fuel Injection
I had that problem when I first installed my MPFI. The guy would not accept
that it was properly - legally - modified. I finally convinced him to at least look it up by the CARB number on the sticker. He found that it was indeed an allowable modification, so he passed the visual and moved over the diagnostic machine. He pressed the button that said the motor was modified, and the computer immediately spit out a Reject letter with an 800 number to call the referee. The ref said that I was fine and to go back to the Smog Shop. The owner of the shop said the guy that did my Jeep was new, and clueless. His senior Smog Guy was on vacation until the following Monday and if I could come back, he would do the test for without additional charge. Anyway, the senior guy really knows his stuff, and I passed with flying colors. I have smogged three times now, each time at the same shop by the same tech.
