AHHH NEED HELP

[The Ren]

So Mom took my new car this morning to get the emissions on it.. fucking thing failed.. bad.. so what do I do now? I has a repair form which I have to get filled out..

[5thgcelica]

well.....how bad failed..what year is it?

what failed? sometimes a cat replacement does the job perfect. othertimes...its alot worse than that.

[The Ren]

its a 1994
the hp was alittle over.. the co was a bit over.. the cat part was 3 times over..

[The Ren]

I know people have "hook ups" on emissions.. my question is.. Since I have failed once.. and it gets redone.. would it work?

[5thgcelica]

sounds like what happened when i got mine dont and failed...

i just replaced the cat and it did just fine.

[uproot]

yeah could be cat, o2 sensor, gas cap......

[The Ren]

gas cap didnt work either..

[5thgcelica]

gas cap didnt work either..


well if i were you id replace the cat and cap :)

[uproot]

how long was the car running before you got it tested?... from what i've heard i think that might have something to do with it too?

[The Ren]

Well I've got 30 days to fix it.. I guess Ill be going to Nopi with it and then taking it to batlground next week..

[rickgiblin]

what kind did you you buy?

[The Ren]

how long was the car running before you got it tested?... from what i've heard i think that might have something to do with it too?
maybe 2 or 3 min.. I drove from the bank straight over to emissions..

[The Ren]

what kind did you you buy?
LOOK AT MY SIGNATURE... HELLO a Supra..

[uproot]

yeah... was the car warmed up all the way?


but then again i dont know... did they have to run it on a dyno or did they plug it in?

[uproot]

LOOK AT MY SIGNATURE... HELLO a Supra..

yeah and i think toyota made those if i'm not mistaken

[The Ren]

both... they did the dyno and put a thing in the exhaust pipe...

[5thgcelica]

yeah... was the car warmed up all the way?


but then again i dont know... did they have to run it on a dyno or did they plug it in?
i think like...98 up is just pluggin in
everything else is on a dyno.... but i could be wrong.

[silver]

She bought it in Tenn... they do not require emmissions there... I didn't even think about that when you said you were going to Tenn to look at a car...

[uproot]

both... they did the dyno and put a thing in the exhaust pipe...

yeah i've heard you gotta drive it for a little while first before you get it tested... but that could be b/s

[rickgiblin]

LOOK AT MY SIGNATURE... HELLO a Supra..
wow, sorry. there goes my head for the day :(

[The Ren]

yeah and i think toyota made those if i'm not mistaken
i think so..

[Hulud]

maybe 2 or 3 min.. I drove from the bank straight over to emissions..
yea ive heard to make sure that its warmed up all the way

[uproot]

She bought it in Tenn... they do not require emmissions there... I didn't even think about that when you said you were going to Tenn to look at a car...

ah man that would suck if somethin was done to it where it can't pass emissions... that would be gay

[rickgiblin]

i think like...98 up is just pluggin in

i think that your 100% correct, but i may be wrong. well good luck with getting your car passed. hope it all works out

[dereksi]

Yea the car needs to be driven for a good 30 mins.The cat needs to be smokin hot!! Id say drive it on the hwy for a good 30 45 mins and go get a practice test run and see what it does.Im a toyo lexus tech thats all i work on all day. Def need 96 and older car to be driven for a good while or else you will fail.

[5thgcelica]

soooo what'd id do. again..gas cap, cat, and run some higher octane fuel through it.. sometimes it'll give you just enough edge to pass it.

[dereksi]

i think like...98 up is just pluggin in

96 and up is OBD test where they just plug in

Thanks... that may be what the problem was... also i have something of yours you might want before nopi..

yeah fill it up with the best gas, and then run through the tank just haulin ass till its under half a tank and get it tested

[5thgcelica]

gotcha.... thanks for clearin that up. :goodjob:

[The Ren]

Thanks guys.. I am running on premium now.. but the car was still cold so...

[dereksi]

Go drive it for awhile and get it real hot and see if they will run a practice test for you

[uproot]

Thanks guys.. I am running on premium now.. but the car was still cold so...

yeah was it smokin when they tested it?

[The Ren]

no smoke at all...

[uproot]

oh ok... i mean you know like sometimes cars do that, i guess it's really not that cold outside though

[rickgiblin]

hey, how did you find your supra? did you use trader or something? just currious, im looking for a new car

[The Ren]

Supra Forums... the best place...

[The Ren]

DEREK WHEN DO YOU WANT YOUR DANG MASK.. ITS SITTING IN MY CAR

[A.P. Photography]

from what I have heard turbo cars will fail emissions like every one said unless it is warmed up. I know Japan went to cold emissions and it hurt a lot of the turbo cars over there because they were all failing. Congrats on the car tho :goodjob:

[The Ren]

Thanks.. and i think i got it taken care of.. THANKS ALOT EVERYONE :D
:kiss:

[PSINXS]

Thanks guys.. I am running on premium now.. but the car was still cold so...
u put less than premuim in a supra? major no no

[WTF..kebe]

i heard that you're not allowed to sale a car that wont pass emissions?

[silver]

She bought it in Tenn.... they do not require emissions...

[AznTraitor]

dont know if you've re-taken it, but my uncle had a 87 astro that would fail, and to pass, he would run 93 octane and also put in fuel treatment and run it for about 30-45mins and then go back and test...and pass'ed....he did this a few times and all in the same day.

[WTF..kebe]

She bought it in Tenn.... they do not require emissions...

thats right

i'm a dumbass

[The Ren]

no... Im saying I am running premium like hell i would put anything different in it.. thanks for the advice guys ;)
