# Ugh so I DIDNT pass emissions...

Posted by James (VE 5spd ) on October 03, 2003 at 13:04:19: they told me yesterday that it did pass and that the operator forgot to put the sticker on it, and to go pick the sticker up this morning. Well I go up there and turns out they didnt even inspect it..I dunno if they forgot or what. So they ran it this morning and it failed High Speed 25 mph 1685 rpm HC(PPM) standard is 120 it did 135 NOx(PPM) standard is 848 it did 2770 Low Speed 15 mph 1429 rpm HC(PPM) standard is 124 it did 219 NOx(PPM) standard is 937 it did 2512 They suggested EGR and a bad cat. The cat is about 2 yrs old it's a Carsound from WSP. I cleaned that EGR back in June and put it on the auto and it passed. Would it be bad this quick? Also could the cat really be bad (or I guess just doesnt perform 'street legal' like it's supposed to)? I guess I'm just gonna bite the bullet and buy a new EGR because I dont want to have to rig it every year to pass, but if I have to buy a cat too then that just sucks. :) Opinions? Replys: could be the grounding of the ECU problem...we had with the 3rd gen....try to find that wire and reground. nm oE (97 TTP) 14:56:13 10/03/2003 (0) Hey James... wheel Q.. Matt (93SE) 14:53:12 10/03/2003 (11) I'm using Yoko AVS ES100 225/45R17 tires on my 17x7.5 Subzeros --> Aaron (92 SE Auto) 18:23:24 10/03/2003 (0) Yeah Subzero's.. James (VE 5spd ) 15:02:43 10/03/2003 (9) What offset you running James? n/m Kevin (93SE 5sp) 16:15:22 10/03/2003 (6) They are 17x7.5 45 offset. nm Lordrandall (92se5) 17:17:31 10/03/2003 (5) grrr.. if they were 40 offset, we'd be fine. nm Matt (93SE) 18:51:35 10/03/2003 (4) well.. mine are 45mm and my front pass. seems to be the only one that rubs in full turns... lophix (91se) 22:17:25 10/03/2003 (3) Yeah, my setup rubs on the front BARELY on FULL turns. On the rears, they don't rub with my 225s. Very close. n/m Aaron (92 SE Auto) 23:46:36 10/03/2003 (0) Sounds good.
