    If you want to do it the CA smog legal way, then yes, go see a referee and do it right. The nice thing is if you ever go to sell it you should get more for it in CA because it is a smog legal swap.

    That sticker is for the 87 engine and emission components. It is a Federal emissions package, if it was CA it would say "meets CA EPA requirements". Here is what the stuff means: EFI is electronic fuel injection, EGR is exhaust gas recirculation, TWC is three way catatlytic convertor. I...

    I think you will find its a little more involved than finding an evap canister and installing. You will have to get all the emissions stuff working and installed properly and that includes stickers. Then you get to go see a Referee. The joys of living in Cali.

    MIL Warnings and P0443 Error Code

    First off was the 99 engine swap a federal or CA emissions package? You will then need the entire evap system from a 99 Cherokee with corresponding emissions. Are you trying to get this smogged in the PRK?:)

    Sounds like you are on the right path. Make sure your O2 sensor heater fuse is good. If you had a scan tool you could look at your data stream and see if your O2 sensor is switching and in the right voltage range. I would be willing to bet that your O2 sensor is bad.

    Wheel bearings, wheel bearings, and wheel bearings. Also check frame and such for cracks, loose bolts, etc. Checking the lights, lugnuts and tire pressure should be done every trip.

    Tire chains?

    Do the trial chain up or two in your driveway on a nice sunny day. It will be much better than trying to chain up in the snow/slush/dark and finding out something isn't right with your chains.:coffeedrink:

    Tire chains?

    Chains suck. You would be much better off running studded snow tires in the winter and switching them out come spring. Any good tire store should be able to sell you chains and show you how to put them on. The thing I hate most about chains is usually you get cold and wet putting them on and...
