Failed emissions, need help
 

I just took my emissions test and failed. My hydrocarbons and carbon monoxied were barely over. Im running a greddy turbo kit on my d16z6, with a 12:1 FMU and Inline fuel pump. I disconnected the wastegate as well. Why wouldn't i pass? I was using full exhaust with cat and muffler too. Is there some way i can use a dx ecu and pass? Any ideas?

Also, i have to get a reciept from a shop saying the problem was fixed, what if i fix it myself? I don't want to pay another 30 bux to take the test.

Any and all help is appreciated.. thanks.

Just register it somewhere that you don't have to pass emissions. After 3 failed emissions this year, that's what I did.

Fill up your tank and add 1 gallon of denatured alcohol. I heard about this awhile ago and I now do this when I know I'm not gonna pass. It really does work. You can get it a Home Depot for aobut $12 a gallon.

Not to screw up the thread, but Blondee, your av is great! I have two Bostons myself. They are great dogs

Re:Failed emissions, need help
 

what exactly does it do, and it made you pass? Can anything bad come out of using it?

Re:Failed emissions, need help
 

What about having to have a reciept by a shop saying it was fixed?, again, what about if i do it myself?

It just burns really clean. It will not harm your engine as long as you use one gallon to a FULL tank of fuel.

:D Thats what I've done everytime I need to get a sticker and it's worked every time. Theres tons I could get failed for with my car. I want to know more about this denatured alcohol thing. I've never heard of it and I personally would be a little scared putting anything but gasoline in my engine. Your postitive you've tried it and it never did any harm?
