Not Passing emission's :-(

btwilson86 · 03-25-2010, 07:45 AM

The jumper is there so that the computer will not advance the ignition timing, thus allowing you to set your base ignition timing. The car at normal operating temp is also very important...

If the ignition timing is in fact the same with the jumper wire in and with it out, then you may have an issue with your ignition control module (or igniter, as I believe most people call it). When you remove the jumper wire after setting your base ignition timing, the timing should automatically advance to around 12 degrees BTDC

A faulty coolant temp sensor could be telling the ECU that the coolant is not at operating temperature when it really is, so it may be adding more fuel to it. That could cause your car to run at a high idle, as well as increasing your emissions.

So setting it the timing with jumper in. do i set it to 0 on the crank pulley and then pulling out the jumper it will set it self to 10 degree or 12 what ever it should be.

The idle is at 780 most to all the time.

If I just wanted to pass emission couldn't i turn to distributer up and call it a day?

still would be looking into the problem but at least i would have a decent running car to drive.

checked my temp sensor and it is fine. also when the car idles and just sits there the idle is 780 and moisture out the back. never really stops.

So i clocked my distributer up and I set my throttle higher and I received the exact same score. Give or take 2 points. Could this be a bad cat? It ran for a while with the head blown, because I have now had it tested with the engine set 3 different ways and received the exact same score. This is confusing the hell out of me.

The advance timing is controlled by the ECU. Manually adjusting the timing only affects the system in a few circumstances. Find and fix the problem, there's no cheat.

Have you checked your spark plugs?
