Okay, for the past 14 months, I just haven't been able to pass emissions here in IL. And my little sticker expired in Feb. so I haven't been able to drive my baby like I always do. I took it for a test today and had the following numbers:
Hydrocarbons 2.07 standard .80
Carbon Monoxide 28.4 standard 15.0
I've failed emissions 6 times in the past 14 months and it's really getting on my nerves. I'm planning on the following:
change plugs
change wires
change the front y-pipe because I think the little convertors are bad
I put in a new O2 sensor this week
catalytic convertor is only a year old
had the fuel system cleaned out a year ago
mufflers are a year old
Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't buy a sticker for my license plate and therefore can't drive until I can pass this emissions test nightmare!
What they do here in IL: 1981 and up, they put the car on a dyno and run it like that. 1980 and before, they do not use the dyno.
