Failed emissions.....

[K20NutBucket]

So i went to emissions thursday, no big deal. They went to pressure test my gas cap and it failed.....wtf. I got lucky though went i got the gas cap off my wifes 02 cr-v, went back and passed, go figure. I was just curious if anyone else had this problem??

Hmm.. hope that doesn't happen to me. But I don't have to go in for inspection until 2007.

i dont think ive EVER heard about that test. can someone please explain?

sounds like an issue for the dealer, take your failed test paper to the dealer and make them give you a new gas cap.....yours might be faulty.

they have to give it to you, since hondas are lev vehicles, if you have a failed emissions, they have to do whatever it takes to get you to pass. i read that somewhere. can someone back me up? lol

I got a new gas cap but they think it was the emissions testing site fault. I didnt think about this but if i had a faulty gas cap my check engine light would come on, which it didnt. They probably put to much pressure on the cap causing it to fail. Anyway, i dont know how you cali folks do it but we have to go through emissions every year, someone said they have another 7 years.....maybe i just mis-read.

In IL we have 3 years of no testing on new cars and then after that it is just a luck of the draw. So far all the testing for are cars have been after they have sold or torn down. Like my 78 Mark 5 took a few months to explain to the state it was hard to bring my car in because the enigine was not in one peice anymore since it was being restored. I do not want to bring it in right now anyways because it is from Can. and the emmisions at the time I could not pass because Can. and US emissions were not close because I run a bigger carb and less emision crap. So I have to wait till it hits 25 years old so I can be exempt.
