Thread: California Emissions for 90 4runner from Texas

    Yep, I pay for the pretests on my van and my 89 f250. Glad I did last year on the Ford because the gas cap ended up failing, so I would have been out much more $$ had it failed on the actual test.

    Wish California would make their own cash for clunker program. I wouldn't mind owning a new Tacoma but surely wouldn't enjoy the payment.

    Are you missing intake parts because you have an aftermarket intake, or because you have a non Cali emissions model? I don't think they can make you add parts if it wasn't oem to your vehicle, but I could be wrong.

    Welcome back to the Central Coast! Once you get that head gasket fixed, we'll have to hit up Pozo.
    My truck has a 95 engine in it I think. I'm not sure if the air intake parts were present on that year. And I'm pretty sure that my truck isn't a california emissions vehicle. I think it was originally a Colorado truck. I'm not sure though.

    My plan was to talk with the referee and see if I could get an exemption. But since the head gasket blew, I can't really go and show them the vehicle. So, I'm just going to get it running again and then take it somewhere else to get pretested.

    Check if your truck was originally sold in the Denver area.. the "high-altitude" package they installed on some vehicles there was just the CA emissions package

    You should be able to find out a bunch of that info just by researching your VIN#
