Emissions Test Today 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be wbain on  Fri Nov 16 14:43 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Today I had to get my Va. State inspections. I was sweating the emissions test since the Beast has 280,000 miles on it. It needs an oil change, the plugs have been in for quite a while and are Bosch Platinums, which have a bad rep. with Turbos. It also has the original injector seals It smokes a little on start up and the oil consumption is a little high, for my liking. Suprise, suprise, it passed. The inspector was amazed it took so little time for the sampling machine to get the resumts. He said some new cars take quite a while. I suspect the emissions on new cars are so low it does take quite a while to get a reliable sample. Ok so here are the numbers.

15 MPH

pollutant limit reading

HC ppm 167 33

CO% 0.94 0.17

NOX 1273 131

25 mph

HC 162 43

CO 1.04 0.53

NOX 1163 589

The inspector also said they hook up the OBD2 stuff and read the codes. If the check engine light is on it's an automatic failure. He also said the older cars will not be 'liked'.

I can't wait for OBD1984!
