went to do emissions on the gxl today. its premix so on about an 1/8th of a tank i skimped on the oil by a fair bit, and added 1 gallon of methyl hydrate. and drove to the place.

and heres the results...

 

After reading this I thought you passed

 

Umm, so I'm guessing the "Oh yeah!" is for failing the test spectacularly? lol

Does your car have it's smog equipment?

 

Mine failed like this when the shop tested it cold... then the next day they retested at operating temp. and it passed with flying colours. I have my air pump hooked up to an aftermarket high-flow cat.

 

Sure is big fail number around here. Been in the same boat 8/8 times with past FCs.

 

Do you have a working air pump ?

 

Patrick, did you expect it to pass! LOL

 

This is why I have an 87! Etest exempt baby. There's definitely ways to make it pass, if you wanna know pm me bro.

 

no split air pipe, no cats. i was iffy on it pasing but i fugured id give it a chance, it was warm but this is why im saying it needs tuned bad. ill probably be contacting the wird soon. some friends of mine say they can smell me at the red lights when there infront of me lol.

@mazdamike

money makes anything pass... i have someone but ill contact you if he falls through.

 

Cool man yeah if you know a guy I'd go that route, otherwise you gotta at least put a cat on it and go from there.

 

lol You need a cat no amount of tuning will help you with out one

 

she pass last time with none. but this time its premix and its running real rich, and im sure running "racing only" 2 stroke oil doesnt help lol, but i think i could manage if i had it running right.

 

all better now

 

How did you get it to pass?

 

i tuned it down to about 280 on the hc ppm idle running alcohol with very little premix (everything else was close too). then i added 2 cats in line, stiffened all my gas out, filled it with $20 of 91, added the 1gal of methyl hydrate and ooo so gingerly drove to the test.

when the guys did the test on it they were so surprised by the drastic change that they kept running it for a bit after it passed just to see what it could do. i wasnt very happy about that but i was overly glad that i made it pass. when i got in the car to leave the temp gauge was at 3/4

went and filled all the way with 91 and added enough premix for the hole tank.
