I failed Ca Smog today

[Bruce Banner]

I failed at the "fuel cap functional" test.
What does that mean?

Why didnt you ask the service technician?

It obviously means your Gas cap has something wrong...was this with a CB? or an OBD2 car?

[ChIoVnIdCa]

You just need a new gas cap.

CB7, It was a test only place, they guy told me nothing.
Just offered me brochures of where to go to find resources.
The gas cap I got at autozone a while back when I forgot my gas cap at a gas station.
It's not OEM, dunno if that matters.

yes it does. ^^ go buy a new one from honda. and a test only center will not give advices.

I'm in norcal, around the san francisco bay area.
I was really shocked when he said I was a gross polluter, cause the motor is stock

dang man!

put sum 40's in ur gas tank. LOL

i wouldnt trust the reading on those papers. the one that i passed on read 13 while the first run was 15.

so yea, recheck the timing and shit. if nox is still high and consistent on both readings (15/25mph) then it may be the cat.

cat, o2 sensor, unclogg egr ports. sorry, I live in so cal. but there are many good member's up there that are pretty knoledgeable. especially the person who posted before me.

first off did ur car warm up for 15 minutes driving at least before u went to smog? second, you have to adjust ur timming to spec, those can throw off numbers really quick. third, did you at least change your oil and have a full tank of gas?

I drove the car around all day running errands then hit the smog shop on the way home.
Prior to the smog shop I was on the freeway for a good 15 mins.
OIl was swapped last month.
I had 1/2 a tank of gas.
Adjust timing?
You mean valve adjustment?

[wed3k]

check both...
