here is my emissions test diagnostic report:



this is on a stock '90 civic dx hatch. what i noticed is that later in the test, and when my speed was up, the levels dropped to below acceptable. so....what do i do to pass?

if i moved things up and swapped in the d16z6 before i need to retest on the 27th, would that do it?

 

i just echecked mines 3 days ago.. i am runnign rich and i tought i was going to fail.. anyways...
my was 1.47 limit 1.97
CO was 0.58 limit 1.27
i got the Z6 longblock... and passed with no problems.. and they are strict about that here....

 

Did you drive it to get the cat good and hot? I usually recomend driving them for ten miles and then holding the rpms at about 2500 while waiting in line.

 

ha, i passed maryland inspection about a month ago. and i have a b16'ed crx, ill try to find it

 

Try replacing your plugs, oxygen sensor, and maybe retarding your timing. Your car should pass emissions. If I could pass emissions with my old d16z6 turbo w/ a free flow cat, you should have no problem passing. Something emissions equipment on your car is out of whack because you aren't any where near the legal limit on most of those charts.

 

They have echecks in Dayton? That sucks, you should move to Columbus.

 

unplug 1 of your injectors. instant 1/4th of the emissions...

i would, but my dx is throttle body injection, so if i unplug an injector, i lose 2 cylinders.

 

Your joking right?
The the o2 sensor would see all that extra oxygen, so the ECU would richen up the mixture and the CO would go up. It would probably reduce the NOX readings though.

i'm sorry i don't know how to read what the information means that they give you, but how old is your cat? my DX failed twice, so i thought it'd be a good time to swap in the ZC. finished the swap and it still failed another 3 times. ended being i just needed a new cat. passed well under the allowances.
