emissions
 
Hey guys,

I failed emisions!!! They said i was running too rich. How can i fix the problem? Get a tune? i dont drive the car anymore beacuse i have a bike so im not looking to go faster, i just want my car to be legal....

skifast87 03-20-2007 07:34 PM

more info..... (mods, previous issues, any other symptoms) ????????

They didn't give you an idea of what you can do to fix it? If I fail emissions, he tells me exactly what's wrong and tells me what to do to fix it.

I'm with skifast on this though. We need more info.

Does it have headers? ORY (no cats)? etc

Sly_Z_28 03-20-2007 07:49 PM

it has mac headers, BORLA exhaust, CAI, high flow cat, new plugs.....they say its running rich when they put it on the dyno.

skifast87 03-20-2007 08:49 PM

well if your on a damn dyno have them tune it out. i mean with the amount of information we are working with here its kinda hard to point to one thing man. it could be a ton of things

First of all - what kind of car do you have?? That helps, you know ;)

If its a '96 or newer, they shouldn't be putting it on the dyno, they just plug into the OBD2 port and check for codes.

If its a 95 or later, they will run it on the dyno to check emmissions. If thats the case, you will need to get it tuned in order to pass.

They stick a tailpipe probe in the exhaust...the probe says "the car is running rich". They can't pass the car if it doesn't pass the tailpipe emmissions check. And I serious doubt that they knew what was wrong and were holding out on you lol.

Get it tuned and you should pass no problem.
