Who here with a ZC has passed Md emissions?

My emissions ticket arrived in the mail today. So I'm probably going to go Wednesday and get my emissions done. I have the PG7 ECU which I will probably swap back out for a PM6, that would run leaner right? You think I should be ok? I think I will do an oil change, fuel filter, and stuff on Saturday at work. So any little thing would help.

Crap you dump in to burn out the deposits. You can buy it any department store, like Canadian Tire.

I'm not sure about you guys, but I just did this, retarded the timing and FAILED exactly BECAUSE of that. I passed emissions, but they failed me for the shitty timing/running condition. It was Test Only. Good luck.
