REGAL 86 regal v6 acceleration issues

[Albert714]

I eliminated mine all together after that, BS smog!!

I’m gonna have to try it originally this car comes with a v8 previous owner swapped it out to v6 so smog wise I’m screwed regardless

I have gutted cats on the car by cutting a flap and then using an air chisel to break up the insides and then bend the flap back and weld it shut.

Quick question can I put the pipe from smog pump directly to exhaust pipe ?the one that goes from cat to smog pump

The pump on the engine is only for the catalytic convertor if you remove that you don't need the pump anymore.

I just noticed you live in Ca assuming you have emissions testing you can't remove the cat or the pump

Probably not worth the risk for an engine that doesn't make much power anyways.
And what happens when your under the table person gets fired?

I got an 85 olds with the same v6 engine. It started doing the same thing but not all the time. My check engine light comes on so I'm thinking the ccc was switching to limp mode which causes the issue but not sure.

Will definitely be watching this thread for a solution.
