i was browsing the parts section on a honda dealership website and before choosing parts, you have to select model, trim, 2dr, and it asks "do you have california emissions?", and it made me think?, cause i really don't know.

cause the couple i bought it from were from the sacramento, california area, but i think it was bought there originally, but not sure cause i don't have any documentation or anything, but since the car was from california, would it have any kind of different emissions stuff on it? btw, i don't have the label on the hood cause i had a wreck and needed a hood replacement, so theres no label.

so how can i find out if i have california emissions? i just want to make sure nothings robbin power or anything, and am just trying to know as much about my car as possible, thanks

 

Do you live in California?

 

sorry forgot to mention i am in dallas, and bought it from a couple who moved here from california and hauled the car on a flatbed or something, they drive an accord cause they had a baby and were getting rid of the car, but the cars from there

 

I doubt it would be any different, we just have different octane gasoline.

 

i just always hear its strict emissions there, so i was just wondering if they set something different in the engine, ecu, etc ....... so its pretty much the same?
i did have an 02 code1 a couple times, but then goes away after resetting hazard fuse

 

it just really hard to pass smog here some times..

I don't know of any CA smog parts..

I know some motorcycles have CA legal cams.

 

alright, i guess no need to worry then, thats cool, all i needed to do was just confirm from some californians, thnks

i guess they should'nt even ask the question "do you have california emissions?" on those sites where you order parts, especially if it does'nt make a difference either way.
