toadthepimp Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Just took my glanza for mot and all was fine except emissions.. On all tests the CO was about 6.5 - 7% and the lambda was 0.82.... Both fails, but HC passed (just - by 4ppm!!) any thoughts would be good I'm thinking boost leak, or too high fuel pressure or timing?! It's got fuel pump, fpr, cat was fitted, ct9 turbo, runs a little rich on low rpm and a bit lean on high rpm..Had a lot of stress with the car recently, and was hoping it'd go we'll for a change! Not driven the car for a month and a half! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Set the ignition timing to 10* BTDCSet the fuel pressure to standard which iirc is 2.4bar (if you have an aftermarket FPR)Check for any exhaust leaksCheck for drawing in air at inlet (this would normally give hunting / a high idle)Replace the o2 sensor if you wantTake it for a good run, kick its cunt in and get the cat up to temp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadthepimp Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks man! I'll try a few things No idea what the numbers mean tho.. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Yeah the CO is waaaay over, normally just overfuelling but there are hundreds of causes, few to check. Fucked o2 sensorRestricted air filterVac leaks to MAP sensor (car would barely run)Fucked cat or not up to tempCarbon canister fuel vapour system inopFuel / oil contaminated togetherOr just not changing oil frequentlyThermostat stuck wide open Thats concentrating on the CO related things. Hope this helps somewhat buddy and keep us up to date with how you get on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jap91 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Im having the same prob,have changed cat,lambda,injector seals an still the same! Mines not as high tho both idles are in around 3.4percent.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
