Going for emmssion testing, how should I set the MAFT? going for emmissions testing tommorow morning....
should I lean the car out with the MAF Translator? Should I uncap my cut-out very slightly to allow some exhaust to escape? Any tips for me?
Thanks....

Re: Going for emmssion testing, how should I set the MAFT? Hi Kenny!
Definatley do not open the cut out even the least bit, thats one of the tests that the machine preforms on the exhaust system and it will show up as a leak. If the car is running perfectly well with your current MAFT settings, it's more than likely to be perfectly well! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> One suggestion I would make is to block off the PCV hose, like stick a little plug in it that would be easily removed so the HC will come in a little lower if you ever experienced an oil consumption problem, other than that, you should be ship shape! good luck !!

Re: Going for emmssion testing, how should I set the MAFT? Another thing to do Kenny is to run all Sunoco 94 in your tank. It is a little 'cleaner' gasonline and contains far less sulfur than most other brands. It also contains approx. 10% methanol which will help as well.
