d16a6

 

cap rotor plugs plug wires , tune it up basically and try again

 

did all that

 

Is your car stock? or do you have some mods?

 

i/h/e

 

Replace your catalytic converter. High NO readings tend to be lowered significantly by a new catalytic converter.

 

Yep, try another cat. Those numbers are way passed the max allowed.

 

so i jus need a cat?

My car was high, thought of nothing else but fuel system cleaner. Had no money and IT WORKED! I passed clean. I put it back to stock thou

 

EGR valve?

 

SEAFOAM.. it does the motor good. ^___^

Can be purchase at your local NAPA Autoshop.

That would be a good idea, but he said he had D16A6... Only automatics and HF's had EGR systems. So he's outta luck there.


sohc90rex:
Have you checked your timing? If it is advanced, that means higher combustion temps. When combustion temps are +2500 degrees NOx forms. Set your timing to the low side of spec.

You can also try running a step colder plug and highest octane gas to cool things down.

You're only failing NOx right? The CO & HC numbers are fine correct?

 

yea im jus failing on NO... CO nd HC is fine
