I'm from california and i failed the emissions test because "my idle, vacuum leak? and smokey when rev'd high".. i changed spark plugs and wires and the idle to change.. it would misfire. maybe i over-torqued them? ... as for vaccuum.. idk im lost.

 

Have you replaced your old crusty vacuum lines with new silicone ones?

As to the "smokey", that could be one or more of several things.

How were your measured hydrocarbons?

 

No i havent chaanged hoses but i was on my to do list.. it does hesitate at certain rpm as well.

he couldnt get a good reading.. he just said that they werent good

 

Welcome to the world of owning a 26+ year old car and a dead rolling 30 smog test bail out thanks to the Governator.

 

Its my 3rd fc and only this one has failed me

 

Fc has a basic system. Perhaps you can start with a bit more use able information. Series rx7,n/a or turbo, and a screen shot of your emissions test

 

Go to Frequently Asked Questions and click on Emissions. You'll see J-rats procedure for passing smog. Its kind of a last-resort procedure but evidently, it works.

 

if he was talking about a vacuum leak, maybe the idle was too unstable for him to get a test done. So troubleshoot the idle. Otherwise, you need to scan the results sheet so we can see what it failed.

 

^ that, also, youtube a video of it running.

 

I will get video asap
And basically he couldnt get a reading.. so there are no results.

 

 

Could be your TPS or a vacuum leak, but more likely a vacuum leak considering when you are past the timing advance zone it still goes back and forth.
