ugh! emmisions suck!

[blacknightteg]

so i failed for NOx in both high and low range. now i have to replace the cat! fuckin A. sorry just frustrated. i have never failed in all the years i had the car.

[Okie_doke.]

I gotta a guy that will do it for 100$

[blacknightteg]

[punkr6]

lol. im just gunna go head and get it fixed.

:goodjob:

[blacknightteg]

lol. only reason that im pissed is that it actually failed since it never had before that, and the fact that i barely have time to go and get it fixed! i only have two weeks before my tag runs out. ugh!

[Okie_doke.]

lol. im just gunna go head and get it fixed.

Yeah I would've done that but I had to get a tag before I could get it fixed before I went to court so I went ahead and piad that fee FML

Sorry about that man. You could wait until like 2020 or w/e until your car is 25 years old and it won't matter anymore haha.

[blacknightteg]

Lol I wish, na it's got to be the cat, it has to be. I'm pickin it up tomorrow. Thatss what everyone has told me. I would do the whole quick fix fluid, but I would rather just get it done since its old and all. The thing is fing time to do it.

Is there a fine for not getting the tag, other then just not driving it till its fixed

[Elbow]

Move to Athens.

[blacknightteg]

lulz i wish man. but i dont think that would be a good idea right now. right now i just need to get this fixed. i damn well hope it better be a cat. something was tellin me it wouldnt pass a few months ago. i had a feeling for some reason

[blacknightteg]

has anyone failed for NOx before?

[EJdm]

some of those mofo dont tell you the truth they dig you for more and more money...lucky now i dont have emission but back in cali i had a da, went to do my emission and fail they said it was my cat so okay i came home and replaced it went back ohh now its the o2 sensor and then i was like fuk you...went to another guy and damn done deal lol...another quick story...my wife car idles and past emission idk either but it did...anywase gl with your bro

[bam-bam]

Oh yeah. Check for causes of high combustion temperatures (Lean mixture, too much timing advance, vacuum leak, carbon deposits...)

Can also be a faulty converter, though. My wife's Civic wagon failed for high NOx last week. I checked all that tuneup stuff, all OK (engine only has 7000 miles) replaced the cat and it cleaned right up.

re: "fixing it for $100" most any muffler shop will replace the cat for $125.

[blacknightteg]

I ordered a cat from advance and am picking it up in the morning. I would hope this is it. I mean I hasn't ever been change I don't think, at least I know while I have had the car

[True Pyroman]

cat converters only work when they're HOT. so for the first few miles of driving, every car will fail emissions. :o

[blacknightteg]

Took the car to get the ne cat installed, then to retest, it was the cat! I'm good to go!

[EL42]

that's great was wondering how that worked out.
