Default Passed MD Emissions today :)

i took the vette thru emissions today and she passed with flying colors with NO emissions equipment on the car.


previous readings with code 34 code 12 and a lazy 02 sensor with Rich flags on the data logger.

hydro carbons
state standards 220 ppm
inspection readings 531 ppm
FAIL

carbon monoxide
state standards 1.20 pct
inspection readings 1.11
PASS

carbon dioxide
state standards 6.0 pct
inspection readings 13.38
PASS



hydrocarbons
state standards 220 ppm
inspection readings 181 ppm
PASS

carbon monoxide
state standards 1.20 pct
inspection readings 0.25
PASS

carbon dioxide
state standards 6.0
inspection readings 14.24
PASS

all pass. put the heated O2 sensor in last night and had 1 or 2 bars above 1/4 tank and added 2 bottles of 91% isopropyl alcohol did the same thing on the first attempt and it failed bad. both times i didnt even bump down the timing.

good for another 2 years

seems like she's running really strong now. from a dead launch at 1200 rpm on DR's she laid about 100 ft of posi marks before i let out....lol i guess i nailed the tune finally

time for the dyno.......

yes. a well tuned motor will pass emissions as long as the cam isn't too big. i'm on the stock cam.
