emmisions test - fail :(

[killerpickle]

Well, my emissions test was bad...no egr, though they seemed to think so ...<BR>Anyone have any ideas? Im thinking my cat converter...and maybe that the a/f ratio is too rich?<P>anyway heres a scan of the actual test - maybe this can help someone else in this situation, I heard about the "hot rod" test...what are the disadvantages to that? <P> <p>[ September 21, 2002: Message edited by: killerpickle ]

Yes, you're running way too rich.<P>You didn't mention a CEL, got one?<P>What ECU are you using? VAF?<p>[ September 21, 2002: Message edited by: pelado ]

Paledo,<BR>Thanks for the reply.<BR>Ok, I am running the mx6 2.5 ecu with the 1.8 VAF (Im almost positive.) Any way to check if its the 1.8 or the 2.5?<P>The only CEL I get is at highway speeds and it comes on only until I let off on the gas a bit then it goes away. (EGR?) Never a CEL under 100km/h...weird.<P>93+ octane gas<BR>Original Cat converter<BR>No EGR<BR>New plugs.<P>Dunno, I might have to go with the conditional pass to get my stickers renewed

2.5 VAF will say KL-03 on it.

Hey Pawz<BR>let me know if that fixes the problem, I have the exact symptoms. Got a pic of your engine by chance?

Try running your 1.8 ECU with your 1.8 VAF for the emissions test.<P>My 2.5L VAF says KL02 on it, the 1.8 VAF says JE50.
