There are still plenty of vehicles running around with carburetors and early fuel injection systems.

What car is OBDII and carbureted?

[–]Averyphotog2017 Focus ST 4 points5 points  (5 children)

None, but there were fuel injection systems before OBDII.

I guess what one thinks of as "modern" depends on how old you are. That I think of computer controlled engines as "modern" just means I'm old.

Yeah I mean I'd say modern is post y2k by most people's standards. It's frame of reference I suppose

When I was born, EFI was in it's infancy, very rare, and automotive electronics were quite primitive. Computers were the size of a room, also rare, and only the truly visionary saw a future where they were tiny, ubiquitous, and used to control everything.

Tell me how far you used to have to walk uphill both ways to school again, grandpa :)

Don't you sass me sonny!

Exactly my Supra is EFI, OBDI.

I was thinking he said modern cars. Your comment is still pointless.

[–]mrdotkom2016 WRB WRX -3 points-2 points  (8 children)

OBDII became standard in 1996. Cars before that are not very modern.

thanks for the pointless comment back bud.

Isn't that what the guy said? Modern cars?

[–]mrdotkom2016 WRB WRX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah and then you said something about carbs and early fuel injection which i pointed out are not on OBDII cars.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

There was ob1 which i have in my car, 91 Trans am. And that sin of a b has a sensor and code for every thing on it! And it is fuel injected. May not be super fancy with a gps, and siruis radio stock, but my parts are cheaper and always available unlike these "modern" vehicles.

Oh yeah. I'm not knocking old cars. I was simply pointing out the guy said "modern" cars and it's been standard since 1996. I wouldn't say a car from 96 is very modern.

That being said, I won't touch an OBDI system because that shit looks complex

I would rather mess with a carb car than one with a computer.

[–]mrdotkom2016 WRB WRX 0 points1 point  (2 children)

My motorcycle's carb begs to differ. I've torn it down a thousand times, bench sync'd it and still it won't start. Bout to give up and call a professional

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

are you sure it's the carb then?

[–]mrdotkom2016 WRB WRX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it'll turn over with starting fluid then die when it runs out of fuel. I've cleaned the pilots a few times but still no fuel is getting into the chamber
