I took it to emissions after getting a new catalytic converter and o2 sensor and they said I need to take it to acura.. Do they charge to do this? Any info is appreciated.

 

tttt

 

what are you asking? If Acura will install your 02 and cat..... if so yes and yes the will make you pay for it lol. not sure if thats what you were asking

 

No. I mean will they charge to do the drive cycle?

 

yes they will charge you. just drive around for like 20-30 miles.

 

Stealerships will always charge you, they charge like $85 just to run your codes 0_0

 

I drove it like 50+ miles and no check engine light. But when i went to emissions they said it wasnt ready for the test. One other thing is my odometer doesnt spin....

 

Took it again and same thing happened. They are sending me somewhere else now. Damn i hope it works.

 

Ok after weeks of trying i finally passed the ready to test test. then on the way to the emissions place the cel came on. I had to reset it and now i fail the not ready test again!!! this god damn car. What is wrong with it?

 

well you're going to throw a code for the speed sensor. instead of clearing the code, you should have checked what codes you were throwing. that way your readiness monitors wouldn't have to be reset
you're your own worst enemy there, bud

 

ok checked at the auto store, its the o2 sensor, catalyst and evap..

 

so those were the readiness monitors that haven't reset?

 

Yeah, after days and days i finally passed the readiness ones. Then on the way to the other emissions place the cel came on.

 

so are these the codes? or are they the unset readiness monitors?

 

Those are the codes. So im running codes and running into readyness monitors too. This is hell. I just want to crash this POS ITR into a wall.

 

ok. what are the exact codes? with the numbers please
and year of car

 

The guy at autozone ran it with a obd scanner. He didnt give me the numbers if there were even any. I will do it tomrrow with the paper clip and post them here.

 

heres how to get the o2 sensor ready


and the evap system
"A cold engine startup (ECT sensor signal more than 154ºF and IAT sensor signal more than 14ºF at startup) is required. Start the engine and allow it to run for 3-5 minutes, followed by an acceleration period to 50-60 mph at steady throttle.Temp has to be below 64-68 degrees, the highest I've been able to clear the Evap readiness is at 72 degrees."

I believe the cat and o2 monitors are the hardest to get ready

 

Allow it to run for 3-5 minutes: Idle for 3-5 minutes? city drive for 3-5 minutes? Does it matter?

 

early 2012 thread bump ?

 

Yup o/ I was searching for solutions to my current emissions problem :/

 

Heres the problem, did you see him mention that it wont becone ready unless the temp is below 68 degrees? Yeah, try getting a car ready when a temp that low is required in the middle of summer in az. A guy had the same issue with his s2000. He had to keep his garage door closed, all vents taped up, door to the house open, and ac cranked to get the system to pass. I think he ducted the exhaust pipe out one of his vents, or opened the garage immediatly before starting it in the middle of the night.

And I believe its idle for 3-5 minutes so the ecu can perform its idle reset.

 

That's what I've done so far. Ironically I have to drive to Phoenix this morning, so that should get plenty of mileage on the reset ECU.
