nathy boy Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 My car was mot'd on saturday and the emissions test read something like 10.7 on fast idle and it has to be under 0.3, i put my cat on but it had the sensors (o2 and lamba) off another car i stripped for parts.I have a safc and a fpr but surely this wont cause my car to fail the emissions as when it was tuned it will have had to be tuned to the correct afr? (this had a differrent lamba in the de cat pipe) So im thinking more likely it is a faulty lamba sensor? any other views would be more than welcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nathy boy Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thanks for the input maybe if i removed the fpr and the safc and tried it again to see if it cures the emissions problem? But my next question would be do safc's loose there map when they are removed from power? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 starlets dont have emission tests. you cant fail on emissions. your MOT place is fail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nathy boy Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Can i have that in writing please lol, how come starlets dont need an emission test? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nathy boy Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Cheers its a safc II so it will loose all its settings then so it looks like i will probably have to take it back to he tuner's as i dont want to loose £160 worth of mapping. But surely the fuel map must be way out if its meant to be under 0.3 and its read at 10.7? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 mine never needed an emission test. something to do with it being an import with no equivelant uk model.i passed several MOTs in my glanza, and to quote the bloke who did the test "your car in single handedly destroying the ozone".

Asad Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Yup ^^ ricks right i asked my old man not long ago he said you just have to a basic idle test or something of the sort as they are imports i wasn`t really paying attention lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Joe_EP91 had an emissions test on his Glanza for some reason as the MOT centre he went to insisted it was necessary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nathy boy Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Cheers guys well the tuner specifically remembers mapping leaner as the fpr was putting too much fuel in. So im going to change the lamba see if its faulty which it could be then if not im going to take it up to him so he can have a look. Thanks gentlemen for the great help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 The GT and Glanzas do NOT need a cat and unless youre running seriously stupid fuelling, it will pass with out a problem.It will come under something like the standard idle emissions test , which is what they run on things like kit cars etc.I hate mot testers who fail these cars on emissions with a passion, kick him in the gonads and squat on his face!
