    If you fail an emission test, what you can do is disconnect your battery for a few seconds and reconnect it again. They say by doing so, your vehicle ECU wil be resetted and will give a better emission results. Totoo ba to???

    Depends if the ECU is the reason your car fails. Might be true siguro if you've had intake or exhaust mods done to the car.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    flushing the exhaust with water would usually yield a better result. :D

    If you disconnect the battery, wait for 30 minutes or so before connecting it again. It takes time for the ECU to 'forget' everything.

    If it works, matagal din pala so kailangan labas muna sa emission testing place. Dapat pala nito doon ka sa place na wala masyadong nag pa emission test...

    Simple lang yan mga tol! Merong akong Lancer Boxtype 1986, alam kong di ito papasa kasi nag-uusok na nga siya then sinabi ko dun sa technician ng testing center na ibagsak, ayun binagsak yung pangtesting.....di na sa exhaust pipe nilagay kundi sa sahig kaya pasado.

    It really depends on what is the root cause why your vehicle failed the emissions test. Rarely the cause is the ECU's settings.

    Have your engine checked for possible causes like dirty throttle body, fouled fuel injectors, old sparkplugs, "leaking" sparkplug wires, dirty distributor, clogged air filter, etc.

    I just had my car emissions tested (for a product we are evaluating), and the baseline test (without any mods) passed with flying colors.

    This april reg. ng ford telstar namin, laging bagsak sa emissions yun...

    Makakatulong ba pag gumamit ako ng higher octane gas like blaze before the tests?
    How about if i change the fuel filter?
    Would a fuel system cleaner also help?

    Any other tips would help.

    Btw the spark plugs and engine oil are new.

    Does anybody else think that bribing to pass the emissions test is like bribing to pass the driver's test? Having an unqualified driver on the road is dangerous, but so is a vehicle that is not roadworthy. The money might be better spent towards fixing the car

    Going back, I always give the car a good spirited run after warming up ... then head off for the testing center.

    Inisip ko nga rin mag fully synthetic, baka makatulong ng kaunti, kaso lang 20+ years old na yung car, baka mamaya kung saan saan magleak yung langis :D

    Actually, pumasa naman ang Honda ESI ko pagkatapos paservice ang engine. Pero before that, medyo worried ako dahil tuwing start ko sya lalong lalo na sa morning, masakit sa ilong yong exhaust fume nya parang di masyadong nasusunog yong gas. May nag sabi kasi sa akin tungkol dito kaya asked your opinion peeps. Di ko sukat akalain na may mas effective pa pala technique to pass the emission test...lagay technique :bwahaha:

Peeps, anong opinion nyo dito?
