Sy 0902, 92Ty 0909
It is that time again.
So here in Cali, We have an emissions test that measures
%CO 2, %O 2, HC (PPM), and CO (%) at idle and 2500 RPM.
This pic is from 2 years ago in MySy. PASSED brown wire connected. notice the idle.
So far what I have learned from the guys in the club is that SyTy's usually fail the HC test at idle. At idle our HC should have a measurement at or below 100HC.
On a stock Ty. NO data master, NO tuner pro. No wideband, STOCK chip. New cap, rotor, plugs @ .028, and oil change.
1st Test. Timing set at 0 deg. tdc with brown wire Connected. idle HC measured 164. (fail)
2nd Test. Timing set at 2 deg. below tdc with brown wire disconnected. idle HC measured around 390 HC (fail)
3rd Test. Timing set at 2 deg. above tdc with brown wire disconnected. idle HC measured around 66 HC (pass)
After the 3rd test with the brown wire disconnected. We reconnected the brown wire and tested again.
4th Test. Timing set at 2 deg. above tdc with brown wire CONNECTED. idle HC measured 190. (fail gross polluter).
The problem is, CA smog guys wont disconnect the brown wire to run the test. When the brown wire is connected the HC jump through the roof.
My Idea was to unplug the brown wire and take it in for smog. The problem is when the brown wire is disconnected, the check engine light goes on. CA smog guys wont pass a vehicle with a check engine light on. It use to be... If you grease them, they MIGHT overlook the light. But with restriction now. No SMOG test guy will risk his business or the fine for an extra couple zeros.
Another problem is if we get busted by a mobile smog check point. Your out of luck anyway.
NOW WHAT.
Someone please chime in with a SMOG HOW TO.
It would be nice if someone could come up with a brown wire relay hooked to a toggle that would bypass the check light when activated.
