i went to get my 1988 ford taurus smogged, it passed emissions just fine, but it failed the visual inspection because the guy at the smog place said he couldn't find the "AIV" which im guessing is the "air injection valve?" because on the final spread sheet next to "Air injection" it says "missing" has anybody else had this problem? i dont understand how the smog tech. can fail my smog because HE couldn't "find" the AIV. what should i do?? i tried to apply to get it BAR'd but since he put missing on the results, the car now says "TAMPERED" and consumer affairs won't help me out because of the reason it says "Tampered" so im lost. anybody know wherei can locate this "AIV" crap so i can get my car to pass smog? THANKS
how could the AIV be "missing" if EVERYTHING else passed with flying colors??
