i went to the test and didnt pass i need to fix

install-non vented fuel cap
check/repair high hc emissions
check/repair high NOx emissions
set timing/idle to factory specifications-reads appx.12 degrees BTDC.should be 16BTDC

what do i change or do to pass emissions i got a stock b18 with a edelbrock throotle body and skunk 2 intake manifold and toda cam gears

 

why were you sent to the state ref,
if its because you just have a modified car and they sent you there, you can just pay the tix and get it over with if you have problems passing the inspection

 

move out of cali lol. R will be safer, and you can modify her without issues from "officials".


but to help. go to your dealer and get a new gas cap. and set your timing to 16*. hopefully that brings your HC/NOX to where they need to be.

 

i got sent cuz my valve cover was cut and had a aem fuel pressure regulator and a loud exhaust.......and i cant drive my car intill i pass

 

you were given a list of **** to fix and you still ask what you need to pass emissions?

 

it dosent say what i need to fix it just says i have a high NOx-hc

 

Just return you car to stock... If you dont know how, go to a performance/mechanic shop.

 

seems pretty easy to return to stock if you still have your stock parts, but I thought sk2 mani was smog legal and as for the FPR and valve cover Take off and use a stock one.

GL bro

 

i put all the stock parts back on but it didnt pass emissions ........i need to lower the hc and NOx emissions ......how do i lower them

 

Just put your car back to stock. Also get a new cat, spark plugs, o2 sensors, change oil, and make sure to clean your air filter or buy a new one. These are the things i did for my 97 gsr to pass.

 

i thought all state refs got laid off? i got a ticket last summer and had to just pay the ticket cuz i couldnt take it to state ref. they are just raping you.i dont think a fuel pressure regulator is illegal as long as u have it at stock fuel pressure. i have 2 valve covers one stock and another cut for when it needs to be tuned but i always roll with the stock one . call that state reff number first and see if they are even back to work .

 

ya there back in buisness i went the first time and didnt pass i got to go again thurday and still got 2 more fix tickets to pay they get u for everything so watch out if ur in the chula vista area.......

 

buy a new fuel cap

buy new o2 sensors, spark plugs, spark plug wires, cap/rotor, put on stock exhaust manifold, buy a new catalytic converter

set the timing and idle to factory spec (not sure how you are confused by what that says)


Seriously, if you don't understand what mods do to your car in california, you probably shouldnt be making them.

 

u should probally remove the cams and throttle body back to stock as well
