don't understand i didn't think you had to get a emisions test in missouri to be able to get your car licensed or what not. never had to get my cars emision tested. maybe i'm just being ignorant, that sucks though

 

you have to.... its the law apparently lol :rolls eyes:

 

So, did you not pass because of emissions levels, or because of the code?

 

emissions levels

 

they don't check emissions levels on 96 and up any more they plug into the computer and see if all of the I/M system flags are ready and no codes, thats all, if they pass then you are passing emission standards

 

true... but since my cat was not ready.... but there werent any codes they said...

 

My car is still registered at my old adress so I can avoid the emissions in my new county, lol. I have NO cat.

 

What does it mean that your cat wasn't ready?

 

it wasnt:
1. reading properly
2. It wasnt doing anything..

 

what that means is that the bank 1 sensor 2 H02(cat sensor) has not performed a self test yet.

 

^^which means

 

WEll you think its bad there! Move to cali where I live. Its really a pain! the cops love giving tickets for moded cars just because they dont have enough tickets givin out in a month.

 

lol it just means the computer has not performed a self test on the catalytic converter, there is a complex series of things that have to happen for a test to cycle.

 

yeah thanks for sucking it up for me bro lol

If the cat is fried will it fail? or clogged?

 

it will fail.

 

sure will fail, if the cat is broken up on the inside then you will notice a huge performance issues, such as misfires to a leaking exhaust sound, it will feel like you are slamming on the gas but the car goes nowhere. ohh and the cat itself will be a purple color

 

go get one of them 20.00 special inspections, or would that not work i just never had to get my cars emissions tested ever. but never really had a legit inspection before this car.

 

I have a zzp cat for sale 50 bucks pm me , it has about 40 miles on it.

 

Exactly... i hear that rattling sound/ exhaust leak sound you know? plus my cat tinks when i shut the car off and let it sit there and cool down....

pmed

 

bump... oh and BTW ^^^ CAT looks like how mine is right now... does that look normal?

 

Just take the H/DP combo off and sell it to me, easy as that!

 

yeah that looks ok, no signs of overheating on the cat itself.

 

so what if its turned off with hpt?

 

nah its too good to me...

I dont know... if my cat failed Im kinda worried about this one... plus he said hes gotten on it in 40 miles..,.. so i dont know
