The Mechanic was like, "WTF?"
So, I went in for my State Inspection today for the 'Teg, which I guess involves a look under the hood and toot of the horn. Anyways, I can see from the waiting room the mechanic is really looking at the WAI.
He gets back, and says, "Is there anything screwy with the car you'd like to disclose?" I said, "you must mean that tube running from the exhaust manifold {mech. says, yeah that's what I was getting at}". I explained the fuel economy and leaning out the mixture and he just looked at me like I was some weirdo or something. He should have seen it with the cylinder deactivation wiring. I bet he wondered about the PCV catch device (which is half-full of gunk right now) -- didn't get into that.
Anyways, it passed (no emissions test here, or they would've found the leaky B-pipe). But has anyone taken their car to a professional mechanic with your "experiments" in place? If so, what was the response? If I took it to the Acura dealer, I'm sure everyone would come running over laughing their asses off. So be it!
To borrow from the Jeep poets, "It's a gas thing. You wouldn't understand."
