Failed emissions test 3X (w/ questions)

[e30bim]

I know a guy that will make you pass for the cost of the test +$100 Cash. It's from a place in the Oakville/Mississauga Area, he's a close buddy but I'm not going to mention any names because they can get their Drive Clean yanked if they get caught and a big fine.

But don't forget, you might actually want to get whatever is making you fail fixed b/c you could be getting shit mileage and/or burning out exhaust components or running a dirty injection/combustion system

He would have had to anyways, the rpm would have been too high in second.

If you spend up to a certain amount at the testing place you took it to (whatever is on your slip), and you STILL fail, they can give you a conditional pass.

It's a "pass" to the MTO, as long as you aren't transferring ownership. You need a 100% pass to transfer ownership.

Run 93 octane for the e-test. and jus before the test try get your engine hot.

I run sunoco 94 only (due to markD's chip)

seafoam it.

take a water bottle (the ones u can get from Longo's like the nestle purelife) .

cut it where the second ribbed ring is (from bottom) which is roughly 1/3 of the bottle. pour seafoam in it, sip it through your pcv line (?)

you can also put some in your crankcase, but you will DEFINATELY have to do a oil change if you pour some in your crankcase

UPDATE:

Changed my oxygen sensor, and all of my numbers doubled!!! WTF!!!

Going to have to go the seafoam route...

[Boots R]

lol you got a bad o2 sensor.

Did a seafoam treatment today, half in the intake manifold, half mixed with 30 liters of 94o gas...

I didnt see as much smoke as I thought I would, smoke was mostly blueish black. and It didnt smoke for long,

I'm leaving for the wasega tonight, and will do an oil change and a retest on tuesday!
