& Subject: '96 Emissions
&
& When I ordered my '96 last October, I was told that the '96's had to
& comply with tighter emissions standards and I had to pay about $100
& extra ("NY/MA/CA Emissions" is what I believe they called it). I also
& understand they are using OBD-II?
&
& I am wondering what I actually paid for? What is physically different
& on the '96's? I guess the SBEC is different because the MP one is not
& available yet. I also read in this forum that there is an extra O2
& sensor in the exhaust. Does this mean that vehicles built for the
& other states don't have this?
CA and NY (don't know about MA) have required a special emmisions
"package" for quite a few years now. $100 has been the going rate.
Some cars have extra or different equipment, some are the same as 49
state cars, except for the extra sticker under the hood. Part of what
you pay for is the extra warranty required by CA law for emissions.
OBDII is an entirely different matter, and is Federal (50 states).
That is what the extra O2 sensor is for.
