After finally getting the car running again I wandered to the nearest smog shop and failed. If anyone could help out with advice, it would be very useful. The car is stock... all I have is a basanni x-pipe with converters. Is that legal... the guy told me I HAD to have 4 cats(pre-cats) in order to pass. So heres the readings. The numbers in bold represent the failed portions.
15mph@1515RPM
%CO2 12.4
%O2 2.9
HC(MAX) 86
HC(MEAS) 21
CO2(MAX) .5
CO2(MEAS) .02
NO(MAX) 996
N0(MEAS) 1086
25mph@1716RPM
%CO2 13.2
%O2 2.8
HC(MAX) 51
HC(MEAS) 134 CO(MAX) .48
CO(MEAS) .03
N0(MAX) 856
NO(MEAS) 853
I also failed part of the visual inspection for not having 4 cats, also for a check engine light
And I was also failed for this reason "This vehicle failed the ignition timing check due to engine rpm being out of tolerance" I left the timing at 14 degrees .. should I take it back to 12 or lower it even more? Please help.
