sspeedstreet Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 I hope someone here can answer this for me. I'm putting a 3.4 DOHC crate motor into my 5-speed `88 Fiero. I am making the swap smog-legal for California, which means all the factory emissions need to be in place. Here's the question: I find the A.I.R. pump listed from AC Delco only on `91-`93 applications. Did the `94-`95 cars not have a pump? Thanks for the help.

4spdz34 Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 air pump only came on manual trans 3.4s and since the manuals stopped in 93 none of the later motors had air pumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaPaPooh Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 well i do have to say that if your particular year of the fiero did not come with a 3.4 DOHC it will never pass smog in calironia they do smogs by VIN only and if the engine don't match the displacement that was factory for that year they will make you go to a referee to have a presmog done and i dought they will even smog it cause of the engine my info comes from the referee at yuba college in marysville california i ask cause i wanted to do a swap in my 89 so i asked and he told me it would never pass because my year did not have a 3.4 DOHC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaPaPooh Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 yes it sucks STORY: a girl came in to the referee because she got a ticket for her cold air intake the reason she got the ticket was because it did not have a sticker on the intake tube saying "california emissions approved" california smog sucks big donky dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sspeedstreet Posted October 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Well, like a lot of things, I depends on who you're talking to. There are a number of Fieros legally smogged in California with 3800's, Northstars, 4.9 Caddies, 3.4 DOHCs, even a small-block Chevy (I don't know how he got that through). Yes, you have to go to a referee first. But the key is that it has to be 100% complete from its original application from the air cleaner to the end of the cat. I wanted to keep the 5-speed and the `91-`93 VIN X is the only engine that lets me do that. There are good laws and bad laws. There are things about CARB that are frustrating. But I have worked in and traveled to Los Angeles since the 1950s. I know how much good the emissions laws have done there. In more rural areas (compared to LA), we've never seen smog, and I know why.

PaPaPooh Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 yea smog are different in different areas we are just north of sac and they are real bad about smogs (a freind of ours owns a shop in sac) they have to dyno the cares during smog and all that stuff but if you know other guys that have different engines in the fieros you should be good to go if it complete good luck p.s. i hope you have a quick little 2 seater 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
