Anyone know about this? I have someone who is telling me that by pulling a hose on the intake manifold, you can pass emissions. Havent gotten word on which hose it is, but appearently, there is a hose.

 

i dont think that would work. i think most states now check your emisions by pluging into your obd comp., (1996 and up) if u have or recently had a CEL u dont pass..... someone correct me if im wrong. what year is your car?

 

95


Wierd, I thought 95 and up cars were OBD II...
Failing HC idle test

 

send me your email and i'll send you the pic

it worked for me!

some states only do the sniffer test, Delaware doesnt do a computer hook up or rollers or underhood inspection

i would have failed on all three plus im not running a cat

 

96 and up at obd2

95 is obd1

 

It may be time for a quick tune-up consisting of plugs, wires, and distributor cap and rotor. You might as well do the fuel filter and run a bottle of fuel injector cleaner through.

Is your PCV valve operational?

 

When i failed emissions, I did all of that except PCV, filter and fuel injector cleaner (44k).

In a couple days when I do it again, I will have fully tuned up the car (fuel filter, CAI, 44k cleaner, plugs, wires, PCV, oil, oil filter, ignition timing), right now I am just driving it around.
What do you mean by operational? I just bought a new PCV valve. So I guess thats considered operational?
