Guys, there's nothing wrong.
He's trying to get us to pay him more to tell us.
As soon as we offer him $45 to tell us, he'll say "Concealer404" upped the bid to $50.

 

Revealer069 told me its in the pic.

 

Is it because the picture was taken in California and everything is a failure there?

I'm getting creative.

 

Cruise control cable routing?

Throttle cable routing incorrect/against oil fill tube?

Throttle cable missing clip/anchor on plastic cover?

Throttle cable sheath missing/worn in a spot by alternator?

By-pass/BOV missing label?

Alternator control wire laying on alternator, not behind/incorrect routing?

"Coolant splatter" on plastic cover? (not saying it is, probably just dirt, but could see someone saying/thinking that)

 

There are several hoses that do not have clamps, that I would have clamps on.

Also, cracks in the intake that will allow unmetered air to enter.

 

What the hell is this? Keep a polack in suspense day?!

 

I will say its not that something is missing, its in the pic for sure. Plainly visible in fact.
I mean, its not that creative

Yeah, there are a lot of random things in there where you go "huh, that looks like it should have a clamp" but then its completely stock, all the clamps are as delivered.
****, where? AFAIK, no leaks.
It's fun though, isn't it?

This is an emissions test. If it does not or cannot effect emissions, they can't fail you on it. It also failed a visual inspection. There are no codes and no mechanical faults, car runs like a top.

Ok, here is a pic of the issue from another angle:



You guys are going to ******* hate me when we finally figure this out

 

Cold air intake?

 

Is it the dick​​​​​​​ ******* sticker being jacked up on the cap?

 

Is it this disconnected thingy?!?

 

the ***** is 100% carb compliant

 

The cracks are by the clamp for the bellows connector.

Loose wires on the MAF connector?

Glad to see you screwed down the intercooler.

 

Who says we don't hate you already?

 

Missing label?

 

/\ I like Joe's. I vote for it.

 

 

That's the OEM intake. It's legitimately all stock parts, everything in that picture is OEM.

I'm not sure what you are pointing at, but there is nothing disconnected that is critical that I am aware of. Even if something was disconnected, that isn't why it failed
Oh, I think I see what you mean. I think that's just a seam in the plastic? I'll check it out, but no, that's not it.
Narp.
Literally have not changed a thing between the 2 pics

From where? But no, that isn't the issue.


I'm covering for my boss in an ops meeting this morning, but I'll post the answer before lunch PST. I appreciate everyone who has played along to this point

 

They might tar and feather you

 

Nah. Ops meeting isn't that bad, no one is that pissed at my department this week.

 

^^ They aren't the ones you need to be worried about.
