Emissions Test Help
 

I just got a 1995 Sunfire (don't ask, winter beater) and I'm having problems with emissions. I took it for a test at Canadian Tire and it blew for N.o. 4000. All of the others passed. The limit for the N.o. is around 2000 for the sunfire. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can bring it lower?

It ran at Canadian tire with 4 month old gas in it and I'm guessing it was probably done cold. I'm going to try to heat it up on the highway, throw some 91 octane in it and some guaranteed to pass crap and then take it to the drive in emission testing place on warden. If anyone can help out it would be great. Thanks.

i just passed mine today ...:) may i say barely ..so newayz ..i filled up with 94 octane (was 102.4 :) )...and poured in 1.5 L of methyl hydrate ..and went for a boot to whitby from scarborough (could be shorter distance) ....but i wanted to make sure the mixture was well mixed and burning ..and then straight to crappy tire ..and boooya i passed it :yeah:

300$ and ur problem is resolved :D

methyl hydrate

^^ - where did you get that?

Karma has the right idea. 94 octane burns cleaner than 91. So use that. Pour in methyl hydrate along with it and most importantly take it for a long hard drive. You gotta get the cat hot. 15-20 minutes should do.

ohhh your such a rebel...what do you want, oatmeal or choclate chip?

how about for $300 or probably less, YOU FIX THE ------- PROBLEM. now go crook your hat sideways, blast some gino beats and head for the local tim hortons. loser.

Gotta love the Trolls on this board.

yes a long hard drive is very important ..i was booting in 4th at 120 km/hr ..btw i got the methyl hydrate from partsource ..but its also available at canadian tire

sounds like you have a bad 02 sensor but if you think you can beat the test with some premium fuel and some gas additives give it a shot first.

^^ i have a bad O2 sensor ...and i passed it with this stuff :)

y so much hate homie??? :kiss: we are one big family here ..y do you wanna fight??? :werd:
btw what do you drive homie???

^bwhahahahahahahahahah....ok there "homie"

damn that was quick...see didnt i tell you that we are one big family living under the same roof :giggle:

^ :rolleyes:

Well, the results came in. It was the EGR & CAT. Replaced both and it ran flawlessly. All for UNDER $300.00! Remember, when you mess with the little fuzz ball, you mess with the big fuzzy wuzzy also, homie.
