Today, I went to BAR to get my 89 CRX HF smog but the result was very bad. I mean VERY VERY BAD!!!! The MAX to pass the HC was 147 but mine was 216 and the MAX for the CO was 88% but mine was 628%. Did any of you guys got a result this bad? I was wondering if this is fixable but I will try my best to pass it next time.

 

Pay them a lil bit extra $$$$$$$ Iam sure they will make sure you pass, regardless

 

Damn dude I'm glad (for once) that I live in NC!

 

daym that sucks.....

 

do you have a swap? why did u go to the bar?

 

It is swapped but the same type of engine. The d15.

Yeah i would like to know this too.

 

How do I check that?

 

which d15 do you have in your car?

 

The stock one. I think it was D15b6.

 

sucks that you failed bro... good news though it is fixable. Im almost positive that it is your cat. I had pretty bad readings from a 2002 smog. The max HC was 93 @ 15mph and 59 @ 25mph and i measured 114 @ 15mph and 80 @ 25mph. I dont know how your CO is over 100% though. Anyways, afer chaning the cat my numers fell dramtically: HC measured 35 @ 15mph and 25 @25mph.
I bought the new cat from Kragen for about $100.

post the rest of the readings HC,CO,CO2,NOx,O2.
from what u posted it looks like u have a possible rich misfire. i doubt its ure cat. prob have a leaking injector. or injectors. also check your compression.

 

where can I go to get my compression test

 

any shop should be able to do it

 

Was it easy to install the cat?

 

really easy to change out cat... all you have to do is unbolt and rebolt... couldnt have been longer than an hour
