LS EG Hatch Failed Smog at CA B.A.R. Results Posted!
Hey guys, my friend took his car to the CA B.A.R with an LS Swap and everything seemed to pass fine. The car is a 94 EG hatch and the motor is a 96 LS. The visual inspection failed only due to DC headers that the previous owner had. So we replaced them with stock headers and have an appointment for today at 1:30. I took the smog results to a smog tech and he said that it also failed due to maybe having a misfire. Here are the results.
15 MPH:
RPM - 1944
MEAS %CO2 - 15.0
MEAS %O2 - 0.0
MAX HC (PPM) - 92 FAILED
AVE HC (PPM) - 21
MEAS (PPM) - 160 FAILED
MAX CO (%) .55
AVE CO (%) - .06
MEAS CO (%) - .48
MAX NO (PPM) - 716 FAILED
AVE NO (PPM) - 150
MEAS NO (PPM) - 1325 FAILED RESLTS = FAILED
25 MPH:
RPM - 2235
MEAS %CO2 - 15.4
MEAS %O2 - 0.0
MAX HC (PPM) - 57 FAILED
AVE HC (PPM) - 13
MEAS (PPM) - 68 FAILED
MAX CO (%) .54
AVE CO (%) - .05
MEAS CO (%) - .06
MAX NO (PPM) - 764
AVE NO (PPM) - 136
MEAS NO (PPM) - 53 RESULTS = FAILED
Sorry for the long post but I was wondering if any smog techs out there can help me find out what I need to do to fix those results. Not too sure if this is in the right forum either.

First and foremost, make sure you have a GOOD converter installed. Secondly, it looks like you have a rich misfire. What ECU are you running and is it modifed/chipped? Are you using NGK plugs?

Well the previous owner had told me it was a new cat. It's running a p75 unchipped and I bought some new NGK platinums before the test.

your running a platnium tipped plug?
if so that is your problem right there. I dont care what anyone else says if your car did not come from the factory with them dont friggin use them!!! thery require a higher amount of energy to fire and on most stock ignitions it will create a misfire!!!
I learned this first hand while in school to be an auto tech.
