EGR equipment

[cornfed]

I have a Georgia titled 91 Eclipse that doesn't have any egr equipment because it wasn't part of the federal emissions. Here is the problem, I'm trying to get it smogged in Cali and the Cali 91 Eclipse has the egr crap. Does anyone know if I need to do anything different to the car to add the egr stuff? Also a picture of the egr sensor, solenoid, etc... would be very helpful for reference on location of such parts. Thanks in advance, Nate.

If you have a Federal car, you don't have to add anything that wasn't built on it.

Are you sure about that??? The smog nazi's are telling me I'll gross pollute without the EGR system and it is an automatic fail without it...I am having problems finding anything to state otherwise. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Positive. My '93 is Federal. Check your door jamb, driver's side, and it should say "Meets all Federal safety and emissions requirements at time of manufacture". CA cars say California instead. You're not required to make any mods on a used car so long as it hasn't been tampered with.

What about doing an engine swap?? I had to do an engine change, does that matter? If it doesn't matter, what do I tell the smog nazis??

Well...I got into a huge argument with this guy...Basically when push came to shove I made him look like an asshole in front of his whole shop...So, instead of admitting he was wrong he sent me to a referee..what a ####...Anyways the car passed like a champ..Thanks for the help.
