Sounds like you sorted it out, but for others who may read this thread, just use the key to open the door in order to disable the alarm.

Re: Failed emission test, need help

It was a cheap aftermarket alarm system, I pull out the black box and now its all fine.
But where I seen the cables I could kill the preowner. So I have alot to do to make all cables original.

Re: Failed emission test, need help

Wahhh test failed...
The o2 sensor did the right stuff, and regulate the mixture, but the sensor from the testingmachine read again rich mixture.
Can the catalyst converter been fault and didnt filter the co values?

Re: Failed emission test, need help

Re: Failed emission test, need help

Aren't they supposed to be welded to the exhaust on the PA? At least Haynes states this
