Accessing Motor for Smog

[gdoliver@fastkat.com]

Kind of a dumb question. Have a 98 Boxster that needs smog - took it to a shop & the guy says he'll do it but can't remember how to access engine. Is there an easy tutorial I can leave with the guy?

I really would not be leaving a Boxster and instructions with someone that has never opened the engine bay before, the potential for screwing up everything from your convertible top to the rear body work is just too high. Either take to someone that knows how to do it, or learn how your self and do it for them. Too risky.............. :eek:

The OBD 2 connector is on driver side under the dash, same as all cars.

CA smog checks typically require a visual inspection of the engine bay for non CARB components.
