I just failed the smog test in Portland. I have 90 crx. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to correct this? Thanks.

 

need your #'s. HC, CO, O2 etc..

Sorry. The only thing I failed was the HC. I was too high by about 225 or so. I don't have the numbers in front of me.

 

if it is hc then that means u are getting unburned fuel down your pipe i would first invest in a new cap, rotor, wires, spark plugs and air filter for a cheap way out the second thing i would look at is the cat and how old it is

Well, the plugs, wires, and air filter are all brand new. I imagine that the cat is original however. Also, should I just purchase a whole distributor or can I just get the cap and rotor? Thanks

 

just the cap and rotor no need to buy a new dizzy like they always say if it aint broke dont fix it and if it broke while your fixing it it needed to be replaced

Hey man, thanks for all of the help. I have two more questions. First, how do I tell if the cat is bad, and second, is there any way to tell if the rotor and cap are actually bad or should I just go ahead and replace them?

 

a good way is ur exhaust smell. if it smells bad then u should replace it. check and or replace ur O2 sensor with and OEM one.
