My Typhoon's 1st Emissions Test

Ever since I bought my Ty I thought the exhaust smelled like it was running rich and I feared it would not pass emissions. So I waited until the last possible day they gave me to get it tested (today) and it only confirmed my suspicions... FAILED :tdown:

It failed on the damn HC
idle: 319.2
2500rpm: 310.2
Limit is 220

Plus I failed on part of the equipment. They said something about open air "blah" is not allowed on the vehicle. I don't remember exactly. Maybe, because of the intake with the cone air filter? (a previous owner put that on)

Where they say my equipment failed under their 9-Point Visual Equipment Inspection:

1. Positive Crankcase Ventilation System - Air cleaner is missing or unsealed. Wing nut(s) missing.

2. Air System - Air cleaner is missing or "unsealed" for a Pulse Air type system. Wing nut(s) missing.

3. Thermostatic Air Cleaner - Air cleaner is missing or "unsealed" for a Pulse Air type system. Wing nut(s) missing.

What the hell does it all mean? :dunno: Never owned a non-OBD2 car or a vehicle that failed. Now my registration will probably be suspended until I can get it to pass.

That's what I get for buying a vehicle from an area that doesn't require regular emission tests and registering it in an area that does :banghead:

Tune up time. Get it on a scan tool to check the overall operations of the truck. Other than in your sig is there any more mods? How old is the cat? lower temp thermo stat?

Those are the only mods I know of. All the mods on the truck were done by the previous owners. The only things I've put into the truck have been a new batt, serpentine, and alternator. I honestly don't know how old the cat is... for all I know it could still be the original since I bought it with just under 48kmi. Can't answer the thermostat question either. Guess I'll have to take it to one of the "recognized" repair shops and have them take a look.
