    Default Help passing emissions

    My civic won't pass emissions. Still original motor with 277k miles. It's a 93 experience model. Does anybody know someone who could help pass my emissions? I live in gwinnett. I've also got a clicking noise from my front wheels whenever I turn from a standstill.any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you done a tune up? If not, you should. Change your oil, spark plugs, oil/air filter, etc. Also do you have any CEL's? The ticking noise might be your cv axles but im 100% sure. Maybe someone else on here knows. Good luck man.

    The issue is that the engine is smoking so I think it has some motor issues. Had a problem with the car overheating this summer that I was able to resolve. Thanks.

    What color is the smoke?
    Regardless, though, if it's smoking it probably won't pass.

    Light smoke is usually coolant. Dark smoke is usually oil. As for the ticking sound when you turn, that's likely to be an axle but could also be a bearing.
