wheres the top half that explains what passed and what failed? that may help

 

Nitrogen

The things to check are...

Check the timing on the car. If it is too far advanced it can cause to much NOX.

Have you replaced your spark plugs recently? probably not.

Is your catalytic converter stock? I bet it is, looks like time to replace it (not a high flow one!!)

Were you running 87 octane fuel?

the top half is the visual, I passed all of them

 

do a tune up. oil, filter, etc.

a simple oil, filter, and plug change helped my i/h/e b18c1 pass.

 

the top part above the results usually tells you what you passed and what failed.. its a list of items..

im thinkin it could be something with your timing.

 

since your car is a 95. take it to acura and have them fix it. FREE EXTENDED WARRANTY (emission service) for vehicles 95-97 with mileage under 150k. if your check engine light is on then take it to them and if the code is for your cat, then they will replace it for FREE.

*look it up before going there. im not sure about all the rules

i've done that already.

 

Did u drive enough for the cat to warm up? That can help, also Heet is supposed to help with smog. Run octane booster the next time you take it back too.

 

wutsup chris....my car didnt pass smog and the numbers kind of looked like that....the only thing thats different is my car also failed the HC part....i changed my cat and i passed with flying colors...

 

sometimes it could be something as small as a bad PCV valve.

Yup I drove it for about 30 min before smogging it.
