passed the 25mph part but not the 15mph. also passed the visual with the aem intake and dc header. the guy also said there's no timing marks on the crank pulley causing it to fail the ignition timing portion of the functional check. it's a stock pulley so i dont understand how there's no marks. maybe he just didnt see them? :hsdunno:

on to the results for the 15mph part...

HC (PPM)
max: 97
meas: 110

CO (%)
max: .59
meas: .49

NO (PPM)
max: 731
meas: 1098

i went for a little drive before taking the test just to get the cat warmed up. i have a free retest within the next two weeks so i think i'll do an oil change and spark plugs. any other ideas? :hs: :x:

 

move out of cali :hsdunno:





seriously though..tuneup is all i can think of to try and fix that POS

 

get rid of that header.... thats whats failing it... id go to a junk yard, fine a exhaust manifold or something toss it on for ur inspection then pull it...

 

Last time my Civic didn't pass Smog, I changed the plugs, oil and gas cap, and it passed. Asshole Smog guy was trying to sell me a CAT.

If you were rolling a D-series, I'd send you my spare exhaust manifold.

 

i still have my brother's old stock gsr manifold so if worst comes to worst i'll slap that back on

 

UPDATE:

i passed! all it took was a simple oil and plug change.

i told the guy to look closer for the crank pulley timing marks because last time he couldnt see them and took off the spark plug wire cover cause he also couldnt find the #1 wire last time. :doh:

results from today's test:

HC (PPM)
max: 97
meas: 83

CO (%)
max: .59
meas: .31

NO (PPM)
max: 731
meas: 669

much better. now i can get my registration.

 

oh god.. i'd fail by them just looking under my car! lol

glad to see you ended up passing

 

another thing, when he checked the timing it ended up being at 12btdc instead of 16btdc. i think this could explain why the engine doesnt pick up like it should.

 

so adjust the timing fool

 

wanna lend me a timing gun?
