I run a fuel boss only setup, no check engine light but I get a P0130 (and its 1693 companion) code if I go looking. I need to get a smog check this week so I'm preparing for that.  Is there anything I can jump, remove, connect that will make the computer think a electric pump is present? 

 

Otherwise ill strap the old junk electric pump back in there and plug it in just long enough to get smog don't. .

Here's what I did with my fuel boss set up.  Had my SMOG test run back in December with no codes and no problems.   You can just run the wire from the ECM for the fuel pump to terminal 86 and ground terminal 85.  The ECM will see the resistance in the relay coil and think it's the fuel pump.  Be sure the relay has a resistor or diode in it for voltage spike protection.

 

If you have an after market air filter it will need to have a CARB label on it or the truck will fail.  Be sure the monitors are reset and the ready light is green in the OBD 2 reader or the truck will fail.  To reset the monitors the truck needs to be driven 10+ miles at 65 MPH, 3 times.   If you can't get the truck tested in time pay the DMV fees to avoid any penalties but you wont get the new sticker for the plate until it's tested.

I do have aftermarket air, but its a K&N tube with a BHAF attached. The K&N has a Carb sticker so its never been a problem before. Worse case, ill shove the K&N filter back on. (I swiped it for the BHAF shortly after I bought it, but kept the K&N for this reason)

I would put the K&N on for the test.  Why take the chance of a failed test and then have to pay to have it tested again because of the wrong air filter.

To be honest, because im only half sure I still have it. I tossed in a box that in theory made it to the attic. I need to find it haha. 

 

Actually, im not entirely sure intake needs a carb EO. I know that the first time I got it smoked the tech failed me because of the dual fuel tank setup. I was told he wasn't sure and asked to come back tomorrow when his senior smog tech was there (owner). The owner right away said, "oh its a pre -some year diesel", the carb EO doesn't apply to the fuel system and he passed me... 

 

They did however fail me initially because my Banks CARB EO sticker said 1999 on it. This was because the owner apparently installed it in Dec. 1999 when be bought the truck and Banks hadn't got certified for 2000 yet on the Stinger Plus system. So, long story short, I called Banks, the mailed me a new sticker for free with the updated CARB EO# and gave me a print out of the cert for my system. I got passed. 

 

how was the PO getting by before? IDK.. I know I go to the same smog shop and they know me and have my truck in their system with notes, so hopefully on history with me they don't give me crap. I just know I can't have any codes.

The last time I had the truck tested the smog tech told me the BHAF needed a CARB sticker and the Edge EZ was not approved.   He then turned his blind eye to it and it passed.  

 

Didn't the PO of your truck smog it before selling it to you.   A smog certificate is needed on change of ownership and the seller is responsible for it, see section 24007 (b) (2) of the California Vehicle Code.

Po was an old man that passed. His kids were selling it from NY, so I took it in and smogged it, at that tome it had the k&n on the end of the tube.

 

It’s since been smogged with the BHAF, no problems, didn’t even come up. That’s what I’m hoping for this time. Fingers crossed.

Well FWIW I smoke but California is the answer. I cannot buy anything in NC that does not say the state of Cali has determined that whatever I by has been proven to cause cancer in something. I think I will just keep killing myself or go see @JAG1 in Oregon.

My bad no offense to you! I think everything under the sun has that sticker on it LOL!

Now I know I am sterile, been breathing wood for 40 some odd years.

 

Funny thing, when we were kids they used to spray insecticide in a fog off of a truck. They just drove all the neighborhoods spraying every where. We used chase and run in the fog. Of course that was back when DDT was not bad for you.
