f**king went to get smogged a while ago, after hundreds of dollars in parts and countless hours of f**king work.. and mother f**king god damn son of a bitch failed AGAIN
HC: 905 - 220
CO: 6.33 - 1.20
(with new exhaust new cat, full lean idle, f**king god damn even had the air pump hooked to the cat via the split air pipe, can of that GTP 'pass or we pay' bull sh*t)

what the god damn f**k is this bull sh*t... now what do i have to do to get this mother f**king to god damn pass this stupid bullsh*t ******* god damn what the blue f**k is the problem... leaky injectors? god damn mother f**king hell this sh*t is so f**king stupid

now: violently ripping out all emissions bullsh*t

there, edited the body myself.

sorry... very unstable at the moment..

make that THOUSANDS of dollars in parts, and hundreds of hours of work

 

From the time you last posted to now. Did you run the car alot??? I mean was it good and hot b4 you went to the smog?? that's is one common thing that I read when people talk about getting smog. Just asking

 

yeah, it's about a 30 minute drive to the testing station

 

have the basics been done first??? new spark plugs/and cables, new air filter, new O2 sensor, new fuel filter, clean unleaded regular gas...

Those things should all be done first. Then check things like EGR (if it is a S4).

 

yeah i did all of the basic things, new plugs/wires, cleaned my air filter (k&n) replaced o2 sensor when i replaced the exhaust, fuel filter is fairly new, very fresh gas from last night, did most of the stuff on jrats emissions cheat system, all but the alcohol, and still failed horribly

 

i didnt check the EGR tho, but wouldnt think it would make that big of a difference... my only guess is that the injectors are leaking... it consumes fuel like crazy, runs rich as hell, and HC's are caused by unburned fuel arent they?

 

why didnt u do the alcohol trick?? my brother did with his mr2 n they were amazed at how he got such a low count

 

mainly because im flat broke... wouldnt have the money to buy the alcohol, or the gas after i tested... im just screwed i guess.. my daily driver's oil pump went out when i bought a parts car to fix my 7 with.. so now im stuck without a car at all.. no car + no money + no job = screwed.

 

What have you got on your parts car to sell???

 

i was gonna trade the rest of the car for a paint job.. but doesnt look like that is going to happen after i failed so bad.. i might as well build the parts car back up and drive it (87 TII parts car)

 

What alcohol and where do you buy it?

 

can you cheat? just route the air pump's outlet hose directly to your cat, bypassing the ACV.

that works on 1st gens, not sure if it'll fly on a 2nd gen.

instead of decreasing the parts, increase the millions!

 

^That's a good one

 

He already tried that, if you can desipher his original post.

 

a buddy of mine's corolla passed with straight pipes after he used aviation fuel and alchohol. he said it burned so clean, the exhasut tip rurned white.

 

that is exactly what i did... and still 700 over the limit... time to turn this POS into a track car, or a paper weight

 

my last resort is buying 4 new injectors, or getting mine cleaned up and rebuilt...
does anyone think leaky injectors could cause the HC's to be that high? 700 over the limit?
HC's are caused by unburned fuel so.. this could be the problem? any input?

 

anyone know of a quick way to find out if the injectors are leaking? (without pulling them) like.. i could leave my fuel pump on, and see if it floods or something? would this help narrow it down?

 

What you need is to find a place that will slap the sticker on for 100 bucks...i know 2 people that do that here in RI .... too bad u dont live in RI i could get u the hookup

 

yeah, i thought about asking the dude if he would take some $$ to pass me. but he was old and nearly deaf ... probably wouldnt have been too good if i had to yell 'HEY IF I SLIP YOU 50 BUCKS WILL YOU PASS ME'

 

Have you checked your coolant temp sensor (the one on the water pump housing)?

 

no, i havent checked that... could you tell me how i could check it.. on a poor mans tool budget..

 

Only real way woudl be to pull them and then zip tie them to the fuel rails and fire the engine. You can then watch the spray pattern of them to see of any leak or have a bad spray.
