kapag bumagsak sa emission test...q

We need to catch up with technology in the PI. I wish we can all be nice to our environment.

di naman kaya yun equipment ang kelangan i-calibrate? i mean kung ganun kadami usok na pumapasok dun everyday, dapat at least once a day eh nililinis or calibrated dapat yun equipments... saka yun human factor na din.. kung pano tumapak yun tetster sa gas pedal.. baka naman biglaan....

I agree with you. ;)

What's cheating again? I must have missed something on the previous posts.

I just had my car tested in January, but unfortunately failed the test. The person who was doing the testing told me to step on the gas to make it pass and it did. (Hindi ako naglagay...) I guess you can say I'm guilty :whoa: for cheating on my emissions test. Although, I had made up for it by immediately taking the car and had the filter changed, cleaned throttle, changed oil, changed spark plugs, and changed coolant.

I had been doing regular tune ups before and don't know why I failed the test (and miserably), although I never encountered any problems and the car shop tells me there's nothing wrong with the car. :confused:

sasakyan din ng tatay ko bumagsak..........

ginawa nya ni rev nya ng nirev tapos pinatest ulit ayun pasado na :d

That is a very bad idea. Water can get into your catalytic converter and mess it up.

If you fail emissions there can be many reasons but carbon buildup in your muffler is not it.

1 A tune up is the first and cheapest solution.
2 you can have a bad catalytic conveter. If your exhaust gasses smell like sulfur, its probably your cat conv.
3 you can have a blown or a pinhole in your headgasket. this is expensive to fix. you can tell if your exhaust gasses are very white. this means that water or coolant is mixing with oil.
4 your car can be burning oil- normally blue somoke. this means you need an engine re build.

If you have a 2000 and your car has gotten scheduled maintainance, you should have no problem.

catalytic converters, imho, cars here are not equipped with one...

yun nga yung point ko eh. three factors yan...

a) yung engine
b) yung muffler carbon deposits
c) yung smoke emission testing machine.

cover everything and everything will be fine...

a) tuneup
b) yung suggestion ko to clean the muffler
c) yung reliability ng smoke emission testing machine...

baka diesel nasa isisp mo sir afrasay. lahat na yata ng gasoline cars na lumalabas ngayon may catalytic converter na. ever since nag-take effect yung clean air act mandated na lahat ng car manufacturers na lahat ng brand new cars ay equiped na with cat.

hmmm... D*mn too much diesel in my system. :D But then again there are still a greater number of pre clean air act cars on the road.

I just had my 2000 Revo Glx tested on March 5 and it passed. With regular tune up, everything will be ok.

Regular tune up ko is every 5000Km. Change oil, plugs, oil filter, check ng timing kung ok pa rin. I clean air filter every two weeks.

Mga exepert bossings, tatagal na ba ang engine ko pag ganito ang alaga ko?

Yung coolant pala. Gaano ba katagal bago dapat palitan? last palit nitong sakin nung 40000Km check. 65000 na ko ngayon.

Thanks.
