Reducing Hydrocarbons (HC)

[vsiev]

Ok, I was able to reduce the NOx but now I still failed smog cause of HC. What ways can I reduce it? I checked the internet and really can't find anything except that high HC is cause by unburned fuel. I also want to know does Bluesky really work to pass smog? Here is a link if anyone used it before let me know. http://www.blueskycleanair.com/index.html

id try fuel injector cleaner, or maybe new plugs if you havent already changed em, or maybe try some better quality ones. just changing plug wires, plugs, dis. cap, rotor, and o2 sensor reduced my smog all around by a lot.

would replacing or cleaning the pcv valve help? if so where is it located or if anyone can get a pic of it that would help.

I just failed today because of NO, but I have no idea why. Ghey. Unburned fuel means that you're running rich for some reason... But I hear there is an additive that makes your fuel oxygenated or something, makes it run super super lean.

NOx is caused when the temperture is too high. Also the EGR might not be functioning or broken hose...unless you modded the car some way that I don't know of....you have a cat right?

are u kidding me !!!!

I’m a 4th year Chem. Engineer at UCLA (GPA 3.90) and that is bull shit all the way!!!!!

"Emits a magnetic-like energy field , which raises the quantum coherent level of the energetic structure of petroleum. "

wtf!!!!! That dose not make any sense!

I’m so pissed of I want to fuckn yell at that idiot who made that shit up!!!!

‘energetic structure of petroleum’ what?????
magnetic-like energy field???????
the quantum coherent level????? What more sticky?????

The person who posted this shit; take it out!!!, we are not some dumb people here who just love cars.

good thing some one took that add out, i was responding to some dumb add someone posted on this thread.... oh well i guess it out

tnxs for removing it!!!!

forget aout my last post

what in hell are you trippin off of bo?

[nissanfanatic]

try a lower octane fuel or advance timing a little.

First...I think the only thing you got from your 3.90 GPA was how to become rude. If you don't understand something, ask questions. You just started bashing what I had written. Grab your school book and go to the section on Energy.

If you would have paid a little more attention in Biology 101 you would have learned that energy holds matter together and energy proceeds every chemical reaction...Has since the beginning of time.

Also you need to take another English class...

fuckn

Hc's Are A Caused By Running Rich, Fuel Pooling, And Clogged Cat's While Running Rich.
Some Methods To Cure This Are: Advance Timing A Few Degrees, Tune Fuel Properly, Check For Injector Clogs, Replace Cat, Run Alcohol In The Fuel System (leans Fuel Mixture And Raises Octane), Up The Boost (if You Have A Turbo Car).

Nox Is Nitrogen Parts Per Million. The Main Cause Of This Is Catalytic Converter Failure.

Co Is Carbon Dioxide Emissions. This Can Be Cured By Proper Timing And Making Sure The Ignition System Is Operating Properly.

stop it "petro"....ur "add" is out!
Arguing on the net is useless, and this thread is not made for us to argue, but I have to say one thing......

Bio 101 (life and science 1, in UCLA) is not physics, the word energy and quantum coherent level is not even in it! I’m sure u mean physical chemistry, right??!!!


BTW I’m an engineer, bio is not needed for my major, but I took 4 bio classes bcs i want to apply to med school. As for my Eng. I’m not the best especially when I 'm typing fast!!!


I’m trying to be as nice as possible, OK!

I will not speak of the subject again, if u need more info e-mail me, ok!

I just failed SMOG Due to HC's!!! Right before I went to test I put 91octane in the car... does anyone know if I fill up with 87 if I would have a better chance of passing? Also, would replacing the Catalytic Converter help the problem I have with the HC's?

Gee i wonder....

[theDRIFTER]

Can any one other than this jacka$$(logik23) answer my other question about the fuel? How likely is it that the cat would make that big of difference?
