passed the emissions part no problem. but the tester said that i need an egr installed to pass.
anyone know where i can get 1? should install 1 or try to find a more lax smog guy?
any advise would be great
thanks

 

Does you car have one and they need it fixed if something is wrong with it or they want you to install a new one from scratch. For second case - I would not install anything that didnt came with the car from factory. The visual smog can vary depending on weather conditions and i have never seen anyone failing a car for that part. Do a second check at some other place.

 

yeah they want me to equip it with an egr. from scratch i guess.
is buying an egr and trying to install it not a good idea?
i can see that the egr location is blocked off and there is a sensor there. one of the manifold vacuum hoses is blocked off. i assume thats for the egr.
thanks

 

Find a better smog shop.
If your car didnt have EGR from the factory, and you did add one, then I believe you would need to swap the ECU which has the EGR function.
Unless they just want to see it, and it doesnt have to be functional.
