Senors in front of EGR

[unknown007]

My car has been in Ca for awhile and went to MO for almost ten years.It's a CA car and passed smog in like 2 seconds with no problems what so ever.My concern is that it should have a sensor plugged into the Plenum that goes in front of the EGR in order to be legal in CA.Mine has a bolt instead and I have the A18-B12-P74 (FED) ECU which makes my car CA illegal right?Oh well I guess that's Dope.Here's a pic of mikes sensor and a pic of my bolt.

Looks like someone stripped it out.

Call Joe and see how much new is.

You should have a loose wire off a connector near the firewall.

[unknown007]

No wire.The ECU that I have does not need the sensor.If it was a CA it'd be A18-B13-P77.

Nissan FAST says his car is a true FED model.

Lucky you.

[maxnix]

Mine is a 1995 FED and it has that sensor.

[Infinitiguy19]

Thats strange, you are 100% sure yours is a FED model?

[qship96]

My 96 federal model also has this sensor. It adds at least 20 horsepower!

If it's a FED one then it doesn't need it.Maybe someone put it on.To confirm did you check the ECU P/N?

Anyways what does FED mean?Well it's cool to own and illegal car eh?hahaha

FED is less strict with emissions.

Cali is more strict on emissions.

How does it add 20hp?

Well then that means I can make my car with no cats and what not.It'll still pass smog?lol

[unknown007]

I would really like to know how it makes a FED car gain 20hp thanks.

He was joking, as in "That NICO sticker on your back window adds 20HP"

Your car is apparently not the CA version. Mine is, and the only difference I noticed is that sensor, the ECU, and the sticker under the hood that mentions meeting CA emissions standards, and a different catalyst part number.

Later years got the sensor on both CA and FED emissions models, but the 90-93 did not. The bolt is standard on FED models during the 90-93 at least...

I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks.Hey you never know a sensor could add 20hp.Go check out ebay lol.

I fail for believing.
