I have a couple of question about wiring the an after market stereo in a Starquest.   I have an '86. I decide to updare the harness and ended up finding harness kit in a 97 Talon so I decided to use that as my adaptor. Most colors match up well. Some mapping it all out was too bad.   One thing that bothers me though is that my head unit, a Clarion VX400, has a heavy yellow lead with a fuze and noise surpressor on it.

Anyone who lives in California knows dealing with Ca smog sucks. My car flew through the smog check today. My car is lightly modded. 52mm tb, 1g mas, 14b turbo. I still have the 2nd air cleaner and both cats. I do have hard pipes with a 1g bov. Non jet head. 180 t/stat.   At 15 mph the HC was 41, max 114. CO was .25 max .73. NO was 514, max 785.

I have read that the 3 wire O2 should fix this, but didn't seem to on mine. I'm not terribly concerned about this, but thought I'd mention it while I'm here.   My
