Car failed emission inspection today

[sammm]

It's a '93 1.6. Nox was off the charts in low speed test....standard is 1304, I registered 3761. High speed was better, but still bad - Std. 1179, Reg. 1977.

Hydrocarbons failed (barely) on low speed too - Std. 166, Reg. 176.

I forgot I had the timing bumped and didn't set it back. Could that explain the high NOx numbers?

Could it be a dead ?

Of course, set it at 8*, get it inspected and then set it back to cheatersville.
Throw a bottle of RXP and get the cat hot before taking it in.

Sounds like you have a cheater VW!

How long do I need to run the RXP thru it?

Or maybe you could try this....

PS - You gotta boat?

I had a '92 fail in TX once. All I did was reset the timing run a can of seafoam trough it and viola it passed. Yes timing makes a huge difference.

^Thanks Anthony

Wouldn't hurt to pull the cat and look at it. Years ago, mine failed and half the guts of the cat were deteriorated. New cat, passed fine.

I have a near-new 1.6 stainless cat if you decide the old one has issues.

Can I rent it? PM me how much you want for it. Thanks.

I saw that...don't really want to buy one if I don't need one. Anyone know if there's any way to check my cat?
