I recently was given an 88 Honda Civic 4WD wagon. It just failed inspection in NJ for emissions. The CO and HC levels were high. The car does burn a little oil (about a pint every 1000 miles). Its runs and idles fine and I'm not sure where to start. I intend to replace the PCV valve, plugs and air filter and replace the oil and filter and use synthetic oil.
What else should I check and or replace?
You ideas would be appreciated - I hope this car can be fixed without replacing the valve guides and piston rings.
Thanks
Julian

doing all that fuel filter and that EZ pass or whateva should be enough. Hell my old car burned oil while on the dnyo with that EZ pass or what ever its called and passed
