i can see it now "they" are going to say old cars are destroying the ozone so outlaw all old cars/trucks and only new cars with this type of system in it will be allowed!!
OBDIII?? whats this??
on board diagnostics........right now we have OBDII.......these computer systems only ocncern themselves with emissions........they run the engines wonderfully, but there can be problems that may not affect the emissions, they won't alert you........
OBDIII....if my understanding is correct, you'll be getting letters in the mail, and emails telling you that you need to take your car in for service. i think ONSTAR already does this, but i'm not sure. i think they may be considering taking it farther to the point of disabling the vehicle if it's not repaired. i just read someone elses post about them wanting ot get rid of old cars...and that person is right too. there's a LOT of emissions that need to be cleaned up. i don't truely believe that automobiles produce as much as factories, or power plants, etc., but it's 10 times more expensive to make a factory clean up it's emissions than an automobile....so you and i both know what they're gonna try to do. as for the computer systems.....sometimes it gets a bit frustrating, but in general, i like seeing the new systems they come up with, as it keeps my job ever-changing, and challenging. i love diagnosing computer problems. you can train a drunken 4 month old chimp to change oil or brakes.......but it takes talent to diagnose the control systems that're being used today.
on the other hand, i have a 1978 ford fairmont futura.....450hp, fuel injected(EECIV) 5.0L, 5speed that runs 12's......street legal.........which i guess won't be for much longer
