The motor doesnt really have any smog devices, wont even have a cat. The FIPL (I forget what its called, that might be it. Maybe TPS) is out of adjustment. If its not called a FIPL I forget what its called. Anyways its a device on the IP that sends a voltage measurement to tranny which then in turn tells it when to shift (different voltage meaning different throttle positions.
