My 1995 can't pass inspection and runs terribly
I'm at a loss. I've done new plug wires, run a gallon of water through the intake plenum (carbon killer) and cleaned the EGR. I don't know where spark time is because the idiot who owned it before me put an under-drive pulley on it, but mechanical timing is right. When I retard timing to what looks like a normal range for the CAS, it misfires and is basically undrivable.
The car detonates, bad, and I know it's weak in #2. The idle is pretty much all over the place. Sometimes 1200rpm, sometimes 800, there is always a 400rpm drop with the AC. I was 4x the limit on NOX and HC. Also, when I put MS on this car, will it pass with no EGR? Thanks for the help. |

Can you not swap back on a stock pulley instead of running the under drive one?
I would definitely check and see if the timing belt did jump any teeth. As for EGR, is your car OBD1 or OBD2? If it is OBD1 you should be able to get it to pass fine with the engine swap. |
OBD1. I'm relatively certain the crank and cams are in sync.

no friendly inspectors?

I may just say "fuck it" and get a Mariner like this one:

Remove that underdrive POS pulley and put the stock back in, verify cam timing and 10* ignition timing.
|
Could be a slipped pulley d/t a loose pulley bolt. Might wanna take it off and check the key way. You'll have to in order to put a stock pulley in, which you WILL do.
|
lol @ finding a stock pulley.

Pull the plug on cyl 1
insert something long and skinny (screw driver, wooden dowel, piece of spaghetti, your dick) into spark plug hole rotate engine while watching object to indicate tdc for cyl 1 make a mark on the pulley at the 0 degree mark on the timing indicator on the timing belt cover attach timing light and verify timing it'll at least get you in the ball park |

They're pretty hard to come by these days. I don't know what I'm going to do for the turbo car next year. I might have to put a cat in it and find someone who likes cars.

I just want to give a shout out to all the assholes who complain about california's smog laws. fuck you very much.

My 95 passes just fine with no EGR. I'd guess yours would too.

Can we all agree that mechanically its timed correctly?
|
Yup. That looks right to me.
|
Apparently this motor is fucked.
|
What are the compression and leak down numbers? Oh, you haven't done it yet? Oh, you're wasting our time?
