HELP!!!

[Mx-3 Beginer]

I cant pass the e-test with the klze

[Nd4SpdSe]

Actually Beginer is spelt "Beginner"

Secondly, where do you live? What year is your car? What ECU/VAF you running? How about intake and exhaust? What did you fail on for your e-test?

[Mx-3 Beginer]

Well i live in cananda/ontario,its a 92,it has the ecu for the 2.5klze, its the curve neck engine with the straight neck intake with a 2" exhaust, the part i failed was the curb idle it did fine on the driving part.

Go to the Dealership and ask for a letter that you have a KLZE in the car. The car never came with that engine so you can take the letter to the testing center and they'll test your car under Hot Rod status. Much less stringent test.

[Mx-3 Beginer]

I already have that letter. I was looking around and some people told me to put a egr in others said put the stock ecu in and it will pass.......Any feedback.. will help

[Nd4SpdSe]

Honestly, there shouldn't be a reason why it won't pass. Do you know exactly what ECU you have? You still running the stock JE50 VAF? I've passed the idle test 2 years ago no problem with my ZE, running a KL36 ECU and no EGR. I doubt very much that a stock ECU will pass, they run pretty inefficient with that one. I would suspect that it would be an old catalytic converter or you need new 02 sensors. It could be something else too, but hard to say at this point.

What did you fail on, the NC, NO or CO? What was the limits and tested values?

There is a trick about putting in a gallon of Coleman fuel per 1/3 tank. I did that to mine the first time just in case.

[fowljesse]

I didn't know about the Coleman, but I have recommended 2¾oz. Acetone, and 1oz. 90% rubbing Acohol per full tank to a few people, including ZEs, DEs, and my K8 with no cat, and they all passed.
You can do a search about it here.

Is there any special o2 censoe to use... or do u use the ones out of the mx6 2.5...and it failed both parts of the curb idle hcppm and co%.. for hydrocarbons the limit was 1.5 and it hit 6.74 for the co% the limit is 300 and the first time it hit 600 and with the new cat it hit 1004? i dont understant this thing.

[Nd4SpdSe]

What are you idling at? Man, that's bad, mine from 2005, NC limit was 200, I got 11, CO limit was 1.00, I got 0.01

[Mx-3 Beginer]

I know thats bad that why im confused.... its idling at 1000-1100.... and what about the o2 censor?

[Nd4SpdSe]

I used the 4-wire Probes, which should be the same as the Mx-6. Are yours new? What cat did you get? You should be able to get the idle a bit lower, under 1000. I'm sure the car would be up to temp when you get it tested? Which VAF you running? What's the number on the ECU?

[Mx-3 Beginer]

Well my cars at the shop so i dont know the numbers but i just got a regular cat and took the high flow off but now the car sometimes stalls when i take my foot of the gas? is the cat the culprete?

[Mad Cow]

That sounds like a bad VAF. Mine did that and it turned out my VAF was stuck, also caused it to run rich as hell. Is the idle smooth or even a bit rough at normal idle speed (700-ish rpm)

[Mx-3 Beginer]

the idle is smooth not that rough just high

[Mx-3 Beginer]

and what does vaf stand for?
