Dint pass emmisions :(
What a great day...
Parts are back ordered, dint pass emissions, through out bearing is squeaking like hell.
I have unburnt fuel/oil.
Here are my readings:
THC: 5.51 (nor 2.0) FAIL
NOX: 2.35 (nor 3.70)PASS
CO: 25.2 (nor 32)PASS
CO2: 634.1 (nor ?)PASS
What could cause this?
Think my cat is shot? Air pump not working? Vacune leak?
Really need this car for school sooo any help is we accepted!

Those are extremely high-the THC (total? Hydrocarbons) means you are either running too rich or bad cat. My car was running perfectly with a bad cat and the HC reading was 151, new cat brought it down to 15. Make sure you have new plugs, filters, etc., adjust the TPS, check if the cats are rattling around with loose guts.

Just had to update my inspection, here are my readings
hc(ppm)
standard = 168
mine = 20
co(%)
standard = 1.08
mine = 0.04
NOx(ppm)
standard =1208
mine = 560
That looks a lot like one of those low emmissions vehicles
I think I ned to get one of those stickers that come on civics ans stuff that say my car is a l.e.v.

All I can say is thank God I don't have to worry about emmissions, or I'd be screwed.

way to check your cat if you want.
Borrow a pyrometer from a shop, measure catalytic conv. inlet temp, and then the outlet side.
Outlet should be 100deg higher than the inlet

... But the NOx! My god, those are diesel levels! And the standard is 1208?!?!? Really, if I were looking at those emissions numbers by themselves, I would assume it was a diesel with some aftertreatment to knock down the CO...Out of curiosity, what speed was this run at? Did they load down the engine?

I did a complete tune up of the car 3 weeks ago.
All new fluids, new plugs, air filer, oil filter.
Im thinking the cat is just shot.
Anyone recommend a good cheap cat?

new cat will help in the smog test, but normally, when you fail the test, it means something wrong with your car in somearea. and a new cat will help passing the smog, but also hide the problem, and you will ignore it right after the smog test. eventually, it will get worse, and cost you more to fix. not just a new cat.
just my O2 sense.
