I'm in california so smog checks are a little harder here. I had my 84 jimmy tested and although i passed emissions, i failed visual inspections because of an exposed wire, unplugged minor vaccuum tube, and my idle speed rpm was too high. i have all this fixed, but because of the vaccuum hose im afraid my emissions might go higher now that it's plugged in. I don't think it'd be TOO much, but i was nearing the limit for carbon monoxide. the guy doing the check said he didnt think the hose would make it go over when plugged back in, but there is that chance because it most likely will go up. I've tuned up recently, and I'm wondering about fuel additives as a just in case. I've heard conflicting opinions, some people swear by them, some people say they're complete BS. The only time I really noticed a difference was in my old car i used one especially for cleaning out dirty carburetors, which mine was, and there was a minor performance increase. Anyone have any actual good things to say?
