So i went to get etest done, and the car didn't pass the No ppm part?
And Canadian tire wanted 100 bucks to scan it? Does anyone know what cause my car to be over the no ppm limit?

Thanks ben

 

tune up maybe?

 

NO is excessive heat, your cat is not cooling enough at the tail end. did he have a fan on the front of the car when he did the test? You have to watch the temprature guage on those tests.

 

i just barly passed a week ago no fan @ the front of the car. have you changed your oil latly thats whyi almost failed. had my swap done and they didnt change teh oil :S

cheap suggestion try that garented etest pass u can get it @ canadian tire or any parts store 2x money back if u fail adn it costs 7 or 8 bucks adn a retest is about 15 i think. worth a try save some money if u pass costs u maybe 35 buck worth a shot even if u fail u can get ur money back

 

Methal Hydrate.

 

if it's high on NOx you can try retarding the ignition timing down and few degrees. it's a "temp" fix just to pass but there is obviously something else wrong.

either the converter is not working like it should or the o2 sensor is on it's way out.

 

I'm gonna clean my egr.

 

Clean the EGR and make sure your rad fluid is at the right concentration. I noticed too that my NOx was high

 

I got a straight pipe setup, if i did the methal hydrate you think it'd work? or would I need to grab me a cat?

 

doubt it....

 

you MUST have a cat to pass emmisons its not a question of should you, you have to by law have one or you'll get pinched by the minsitry guys and they are way worse then the cops believe me brother i know ppl who have lost the car on the spot, they have rolling E-Test Vans that can do an etest at the side of the road of they think your not running a cat, big fines

 

gut your cat so you dont have to worry about it for another 2 years. hehe

 

I'm pretty sure only automatic tegs came with an EGR valve tho.

 

wow, even after cleaning the egr my no ppm was still too high, it did go down tho, its now 542 from 602 so what else can i do to try and pass?

Oil Change?

 

^^ clean oil is a must,also a full tank of gas is a must,clean air filter,new pcv,clean the IACV,your coolant will effect your No the most,don't use high octane fuel that adds heat...posting your complete numbers would help me make a few suggestions instead of guessing what could be wrong they all work together people don't realize it...

 

Wellllllll I have news, I'm having a baby, a 2dr will not cut it anymore and can't be putting anymore money into it , Anyone have a trade for a 4dr car? orr i can even do best offer, but i need a set of wheels asap.

 

Congrats man!! But I have a 3 year old and my 2 door works fine.. Its a pain in the *** mind you but is possible. Only problem is the ones with the flip up arm car seats.. It hits the roof so you have to slide the baby in/out lol

 

LOl thanks man!, Yah i decided not to sell it, my luck has taken a turn for the better, I went to the place on warden and past first try, I feel like going to crappy tire and asking for my money back. how can i past once and a govt run place and fail twice at crappy tire? LOL
