any of you have ideas to why i've failed???

i only failed HC @ 15 and 25mph. :happysad:

my CO and NO content was perfectly fine, but my NO content for low was close. i'm 10 degree BTDC (retarded in other words)

my engine is completely new from a rebuilt and it has only 1200 miles on it.. :eh:

HC low = 131ppm , max allowed = 66

HC high = 59, max allowed = 49


what do you think i can do to rectify the problem? i spoke to my trusted muffler shop and they said to run my car at least 30 minutes and keep it revved before i get it tested.

TIA



:thumbup:

 

move to FL. we don't have to go through that.

 

sounds like good advice. it's probably failing because it's too cold. make sure it's warn as possible. was this the newer test with the dyno or just the standard sniffer test?

 

dyno and sniffer

 

So uuuuh my ECU didn't work out? h:

 

hmm damn that's not good. since it will take time to strap the car to the dyno etc.

if you can get there then run the test immediately without waiting it should be fine... other wise it doesn't look good for you diew

 

it ended up being something else.. my dumb shat ass didn't look at something before ASSuming it was the ECU... damnit!!! what a' waste of our time. sorry.. :slap: :loco: i'll talk to you online later about giving your ECU back.. thanks tho, i really appreciate it.. :goodjob:



shiet, i'm screwed..the guy seemed pretty cool (he passed my visual without suspicion) so i'll just ask him if i can keep the motor revved while he's setting up..

 

don't trip i failed my test smog this weekend also and my friend said that alot of the newer cars are failing smog and hte older cars that smoke and shit are passing fine he said it doesn't make any sense

maybe try using an AFC and lean it out a little bit. just make sure you tuck the AFC away and hide it

 

No problem Errol. I did notice you're running 10 BTDC? Why so retarded out? I think a leaner a/f ratio would give you better numbers than rich.
