Failed e-test..Need help
Hey guys,
I went in for my etest and failed it. There were my numbers:
I put in a bottle of "guaranteed to pass" stuff from canadian tire, and ran it through before taking the test. Drove around in 2nd gear for a good while before going in to warm the cat up but i still failed. Need help guys..my sticker expires on the 23rd.
Edit: I also have a check engine light.. "Catalyst efficiency below threshold"

Be careful here.... retarding the timing will help but don;t overdo it!!! How do you know though ... well it's experience. Basically you are moving your distributor clockwise from the passenger side of the vehicle. Car will run very lean. If you overdo it you are in trouble.
That "Guaranteed to pass" did you run the entire tank of fuel through or did you just add it and drive in the car? You must completely use additives THEN fresh fuel. run 94 as well. DO NOT cruise around on a retarded dizzy!! In fact IF you retard it then do it at the parking lot then let them test the car. Then move it back before you go home. MARK where you had it originally.
But man really..... just get a new cat! It will (should) solve the issue. Maybe a universal O2 sensor at the same time since it is in your Cat!
Good Luck!
