95 Accord emissions Failure
Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum and had a question about emissions. I took my 95 Accord LX in for VA emissions and passed everything but the 15-20 mph Co2 test. I passed the 25-30 mph CO2 test. I don't know if there is anything i could put in my car to help me pass inspection. My buddy suggested injector cleaner and drive it hard to clean it out? Any other suggestions?

Re: 95 Accord emissions Failure (Bk95Accord)
Carbon monoxide is formed when a hydrocarbon (like gasoline) tries to burn (oxide) in an oxygen poor environment. Only part of the energy in the hydrocarbons is released for useful power, the rest are not released energy because of poor combustion.
CO therefore is a by-product of combustion.
It is a tasteless, odourless gas, which is Toxic.
CO is measured in percent (%) by volume. Eg: 1-% CO means 1% of a total 100% of exhaust gas consists of Carbon Monoxide.
Engines in good operating condition properly adjusted and all sensors working will produce low CO readings. Vehicles that are equipped with emission devices produce even less.
Excessive CO is created when and only when fuel is burned without sufficient air (O2) to allow for complete combustion, also known as oxygen starvation.
Fresh oil, fresh air filter, fresh spark plugs, and clean out the ring of crud in the throttle body and around the throttle plate. I also think because of the low speed, you might want to remove the IACV and clean the screen and blast out the air channels.
Berrymans B-12 carb cleaner and a soft bristle brush [toothbrush] works well.

To the OP - You're failing for CO, not CO2, big difference.
Change your oxygen sensor and you'll be good.

EGR has nothing to do with CO, it affects NOx.
