Hi guys --- I'm in a bit of a pickle...

last year I got my car B.A.R.'d at a referee station and now its time to get it smogged again..

The only modification that has been done since it smogged at the referee station with "flying colors" was my ecu. I am now running a chrome chip. Went to get it smogged and now its classified as a gross polluter.

So, is the chip the culprit? and I have the obd2 chip ready to replace if this is it.

Thanks

 

well i bar'd my car with a hondata ecu and had no issues. but i needed the ECU to pass smog in the first place. if you can make sure that your ECU is tuned to 14.7 Air Fuel Ratio, after that you should pass with no issues.

otherwise slap in your stock ECU.

 

alright I just did, but I really dont want to pay to get it smogged again

You really dont have a choice unfortunately.

 

hahahahah man i love it when theres NO smog checks where im from...!!!

 

my smog test sheet says I failed in "MIL"


my HC was at 305 and my MEAS was at 4.87

do those numbers sound like the chip could of been causing it?

 

yea, you need to be under 100 HC at idle i think. you do have a thermostat right?

put a stock ecu vback in. your not gonna pass smog with any aftermarket chip. unless its tunned to your car.

 

ok well i have an appointment to get it smogged in a couple hours

everything seems to be back to "stock" with my idle at 800 and its slow as ****
