    Unhappy Failed Emisions....

    I thought i would bring in the MM for it's 1st E-test under my ownership before I store it, bad news is that it failed.....

    ASM2525 TEST results (1500 RPM)

    HC ppm..limit 52 reading: 152

    NO ppm..limit 385 reading: 592

    CO % I passed 0.29 to a reading of 0.24

    The car passed the idle test....

    It might be my cats since a strong sulfur smell has been apparent for the last several months.

    Oil changed before e-test, new plugs , PCV valve, fuel filter, sea foamed 2x a year. Possibly looking for some high flow cats (Magnaflow's) if anyone has the part# i would appreciate it, any other suggestions will be great. Thx again everyone........

    I can send you a tune with a lean AF ratio that should get you passed no problem

    Do I return it to stock then run your tune? or do I just load it in.

    I must say it is nice to live in Alberta. No Sales tax, no emission tests, ...

    Every 2 years here in Maryland, just do the OBD-II scan and on my way after taking my $14. Diesels are exempt and in some counties they don't do emissions at all.

    Was the car @ operating temp? That could easily affect both CO and NOx.

    Every two years must be nice. We have to go thru emissions every year here in Tennessee.

    Great question, I brought the car on a 20 min boot around town then brought it in to Ford, the guy told me that they changed the oil before they did the e-test () which in my opinion probably hurt my test results. I ran out and bought some "Guaranteed to Pass" from CRC , I'm on my last bit of gas before I top it off with some 94, I'll bring it in again and see what happens, this time I'm staying there to inspect the e-test.

    This is a good thing to know before you move somewhere. Is there a weblink master map or some such listing for who has and who does not have emission testing?
