Help!! Hybrid owners....E-test
Took the smoke test today for the 2nd time and the car failed again.:cry:
For those of you that have hybrid engines how many have had problems w/ taking the emission test? What were the problems?
What was done to correct them?
Any suggestions?

did you REALLY clean the throttle body .
intake manifold
intake plenum
new air filter
did you really drive the **** out of it before the test.
these are proven to work.
are they testing the engine based on the VIN or
what is acually under the hood.

my cousins B20B hatch just passed emissions from the first try a couple of days ago. the things exhaust is pretty much just a straight pipe and Jugglez can testifie to this...
they tested the car under "hot-rod" settings because of the bigger motor, thanks for the advise HappyB16

What Camille is trying to say is that you need to inform them that it is NOT the stock motor sitting in that engine bay. They will then classify your vehicle as a "HOTROD" and your emissions requirements are a lot more lax.

Will a header and intake effect the emissions levels. I had my car on the dyno running a test and my nox levels were really high. Should i put the stock air box and header back on?

Those were my reading's, I have a air intake, Chrome polished header and reactive muffler. Any help would be great.
