Hello everybody,

This is my first post and hopefully y'all can help me out here.
I just purchased my first Rx7 -1994 Touring. I just failed the emissions test for NYS inspection. =(

Here are the vehicle readings:
HC 2.28gpm (limit 0.80gpm)
CO 44.68gpm (limit 15.00gpm)
NOx 1.15 gpm (limit 2.00 gpm)

So it looks like I'm below the limit for NOx, but way above the limits for hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.

The car isn't modified (yet) and the turbos feel good when I get into the boost.
The car has 60,900 miles on it and it was warmed up pretty good on my
way to the inspection station.

I've been told it could be:
EGR
Catalytic converters are worn out
Thermal reactor
Plugs
O2 sensor
Air pump

Any suggestions? Or can you suggest a good rotary shop in the New York City area?

Thanks.

I'd start with the basics first and change the 02 sensor, plugs, and wires.

What? In NY, cars before 1996 do not need to be emissions tested.

 

As far as I know you do, in Dutchess county it's just safety. When I lived in Yonkers I had to pass emissions with my FD, which passed all the time

 

That's interesting. Yeah they just do a quick visual of mine and slap on a sticker, no machine or anything. Takes about 5 minutes, tops.

 

I just got my Insecpetor lincesene and i learn anything in the Lower NY. NYC lets say they do emission regardless the year..... Upstate they just check to see if you have a cat that all

 

So can I just drive upstate or do I need to get the inspection done in NYC since I live in NYC?

 

I thought it was 1996 and up?

 

That's what I said... cars made before 1996 do not need to be emissions tested, at least not in my part of NY.

I believe if you brought your car into Dutchess county for an inspection, it would pass. Ask ALNY, he appears to know more about it than I do.
