What does it mean when your car fails the emissions test?
“MEAS” (which is circled on the image below) indicates the emission results your vehicle produced, and it is the measurement you need to be concerned with in relation to the maximum limits allowed. Measured “MEAS” amounts above the state’s cut-off, or maximum limits, will cause a failure. CO2 and O2 – Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen are measured as well.
What to do if your car fails the O2 test?
Look for cracked or unplugged vacuum lines. Check cracks in the air duct from the air filter box to the throttle body. If you can’t find any, spray carburetor cleaner around the intake manifold while watching the O2 sensor readings on your scan tool.
What happens when you change the O2 sensor?
The O2 sensor then sends information to the electronic control unit, or ECU, the vehicle’s computer. The ECU then adjusts the air-to-fuel ratio to optimize the fuel combustion. Sometimes an O2 sensor fails, and you need to replace it.
What causes an engine to fail the smog test?
Step 6 – An oxygen sensor is designed to measure the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust system while the engine is running. Learn more Step 7 – An intake vacuum leak can cause an engine to fail the state smog inspection due to the unmetered air allowed to enter the engine. Learn more
Can a Hyundai Tiburon have an engine swap?
(mostly drop-in for Tiburon, common practice in Korea. See Kspec for more details) it would be great if it was stickeid here too and in the i4 sections! Wait wait wait, so Tiburons can undergo a suitable engine swap? I thought we were either limited to N/A or F/I.. Any idea how much a 3.3L V6 swap would cost? Good post Gary, thanks.
Can a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon fit a 2001 Santa Fe?
Hello, I was trying to figure out if a 2.0L engine from a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon would possibly fit into a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe. Both were I4 engines, just the one in the Santa Fe decided to seize up, and a buddy of mine is selling his engine from his 2001 Tiburon.
How can I tell if my car failed the emissions test?
CO2 and O2 – Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen are measured as well. However these emissions do not determine a passing or failing emissions test. Online VIR Diagnosis – SmogTips can diagnose your vehicle’s emissions test results online. If your smog test was conducted at a SmogTips certified emissions test center, this service is free.
