Fuel injection and you (or what makes the box work?)

Smogged using MSnS

Has anyone passed California Smog with a MSnS? If so how did they manage the check engine light check? Sorry for the post hijack - just read this whole thing and that was the only question it brought to mind.

Thanks

Thats a good point. i would say just pull the bulb, but I am sure they test for it in the run position. If you are clever enough to solder together a board and install it in your car, you will probably be smart enough to rig up a dummy light.

temporary programmable output use #112 ;) rpm switch, when rpms are below a set number it'll be on, and then shut off (you'd hafta have it on a relay but between starting the car, etc the testers wouldn't know what was going on.

wire a two position relay to fuel-pump-relay turn on lead. Power the light with an ign+ lead. Ignition on, fuel pump off, CE light on. Ignition on, fuel pump on (car's running) CE light's off.
gg electronics! :-D

I agree. I grew up fiddling with float levels and jets and air bleeds and spacers, and I really love EFI. I can't wait until my MS shows up.

Why not wire the Check Engine light in parallel with the alternator light? They won't know the difference.
 
to get past the check engine light just splice into your oil pressure light, as the check engine light must come on when ignition is switched on and go out when the engine is started.
