LTO Emissions Test & Calibration

**pajero freak** · January 20th, 2003 11:57 AM

For registration na rin yung paje ko so I brought it to the Emission Testing. It failed. Black clouds of smoke in the back. The told me to bring it to a shop and have it looked at. I brought it to a calibration shop. 10 thou agad. Mga 4 hours work. (Should've brought it to Hanson na lang) They replaced delivery pump, nozzle tips, injector pump kit, oil seals. Palit ako fuel filter and air filter. They sprayed my tailpipe with water. Meron pa rin black smoke pero di na tulad dati. Sakit yata ito talaga ng 4D56 eh.
Binaba namin idling ko to less than 1000. Siguro mga 850 to 900 yun sa gauge. Saka na lang daw namin ulit ibalik sa 1000 pag pasado na sa test.

Brought it to the ETC again, pasado na. They stuck this pointed thing into the tailpipe and floored the pedal. Passing raw for Turbo-equipped is 3.5 units opacity. For Non-turbo-equipped 2.5 units. Mine did 1.14 units. Now rehistro na lang. Sakit talaga sa bulsa oo!

KCboy,

Mr Pajero freak,
Did they step on your pedal to the metal? I mean did they "floor" it? According to the guidelines care of Doc D, the don't have to floor it down upon measuring...up to 3500rpm lang yata... :o

dapat ung mismong owner ang tatapak sa gas para dahan-dahan lang..:?

By Jan 1 of 2004 ibababa na sulfur content ng diesels natin from 0.20 to 0.05 as compliance to the Clean Air Act. Regarding sa flooring of the accelerator, siguro pag wala kang tach medyo problema ito.

They floored the pedal to the metal as if there were no tomorrow! Di ko naman alam na may rpm pang sinusunod. Masama ba sa makina yun? The testing center im referring to is Boher near the Mandaluyong City Hall sa may "circle". Kahit naman dun sa calibration shop naaawa rin ako sa makina ko e dahil halos mawalan na ng boses yung makina sa tapak sa gas pedal talo pa yung vocalist ng Metallica. Anu ba masamang epekto nito?

Nabasa ko nga pala sa 4x4 magazine yung may feature ng pajero history, for second-hand buyers of pajeros try to get the 2.8 or later models dahil the black smoke which is characteristic of 2.5's is one of the things they tried to correct. Mitsubishi pa ang umamin na sakit niya ito. Mukhang mahihirapan na talaga ako palagi nito magparehistro a. Pero talaga kayang wala na gaano usok ang 2.8?

PETC's should not:

1. Allow the owner to step on the accelerator during testing.

2. Floor the pedal to the metal also.

email a complaint to brtcp*dti.gov.ph if you want. they do answer.
