im wondering if anyone can help me out here, i have a 98 civic ex, but i have a 95 bottom end in the car, now i have a cel from the knock sensor, because it doesnt exist on the 95 block, so i converted it to an od1 ecu with the converter harness and the cel goes away, now when i go for emission testing, will i be able to with an obd1 ecu or what do i have to do to pass it? do i have to tell them i changed it to an od1 ecu or what? thanks for the help

 

you won't pass if you have to plug up to the OBD port. Simple as that. If it won't connect (which it won't with an OBDI setup) then you won't pass.

 

then if the knock sensor is causing the problem, then how do i fix it? theres no plug for it on the block

I know in most places if you have an OBDII car you have to plug to the OBD diagnostics port. Fixing that one thing won't help you reguardless.

 

but fixing it would cause the cel to go away, so then i can get tested

I think you're missing the point here. Being swapped to OBDI, your car will NEVER connect through the diagnostic port and you can NEVER pass. Fixing that CEL won't help you at all.

 

so your saying theres no way for me to pass emission on my car with a 95 block

 

Ricey is right. just because the CEL is gone doesn't mean your car will pass.

As long as you are OBDI you will never pass. Correct.

 

i know that, so when i convert back to the obd2 the cel comes on for the knock sensor, and they wont test me cause the light is on, you guys know how i can get pass this problem? by making the cel go off they can at least test me and then tell me if there is anything else wrong with the car if i dont pass, you guys get what im saying or do i not make any sense, sorry im not making any sense and i appresiate the help

 

Ah, I've got you now. I don't know what to do about that sensor man. Sorry.

 

lol, i heard that all i have to do is ground the plug that is connected to the wire harness, any ideas? thanks for the help
