I was trying to get my 1984 RX-7 to pass emissions inspection (It had failed twice as I was following advice from other ""mechanics""). I had been asking around but did not trust anyone playing with my baby (The guys where I did the inspection were charging me about $100 just to tell me what the problem was - but they were not even sure). I went to the mazda dealer and asked for guidance - again dealers don't believe in helping you unless you pay upfront... I was told by the local RX-7 club about John's expertise and took it in to get fixed. John looked at it as I was waiting he told what it could be .... by noon it was done fixed (It was less then what the guys at the inspection shop were going to charge me just to hook it to machine to get some sort of reading). So I went to the same inspection shop and passed with no problem.
