i tryed to take emissions and the carbon manoxide was twice the limit so i need to know were the nobb on the ecu needs to be

-?

What are you talking about?

Re: ECU Fuel mixter nobb

Turn it fully counter-clockwise.

That is where it is supposed to be.

Re: ECU Fuel mixter nobb

OH you must be talking about the diagnostic screw. There is no such thing as a "fuel mixer nobb" on a z31.

Re: ECU Fuel mixter nobb

so with the code reader faced up turn all the way counter clockwize

…Counter clockwise is always, counter clockwise.


Matt89: (2009-12-09 00:41:31)

But this has nothing at all to do with fuel mixture… :-?


TearingRaven: (2009-12-09 00:57:26)

Worst thread ever.

lmao are the schools in Arizona that bad?

I mean, people have complained about our education system failing us for decades. But this is beyond ridiculous.


I_STAY_FLY: (2009-12-09 02:05:02)

delete the shit then i dont give a fuck man


NissanXRMA: (2009-12-09 02:06:26)

Some people are more harsh than others. Just use capitals and periods. Make it look like you tried to write a real sentence


I_STAY_FLY: (2009-12-09 02:08:25)

I wasn't trying to I just needed to know what I needed to know then and not fuck around with trying to get my damn sentences right.


aceman: (2009-12-09 02:17:41)

I apologise for ragging on you, but you have to admit you made it easy for me.

I have a serious question, do you intentionally misspell words?


NIVO: (2009-12-09 04:56:29)

(enters into sarcasm)

Turn it all the way to the left in a circular motion…


DeleriousZ: (2009-12-09 06:10:16)

If you don't put effort into making competent, readable and understandable posts, why should we put the effort in to helping you?


sprtcrazy17: (2009-12-09 09:19:48)

All the way left, aka counterclockwise like you said.

MAF…behind the plug that you must drill out. :P 84-86 FSM, See Section EF-EC 94. 87-89 MAFs do not have this IIRC.


I_STAY_FLY: (2009-12-09 15:44:57)

Alright, yea i got it already, and this makes the car not run so rich right? I was twice as much as the limit on Carbon Monoxide at Emissions.

Yes of course but this guy does not need to know this.. :-?

Fly dude…have you run codes yet? That is the first step to diagnosing this. It is NOT the maf adjustment..trust me.

The fuel mixture nob is the steering wheel


Axel kain: (2009-12-10 20:20:23)

an issue of this nature I'd suspect a dead catalitic converter. at least nearing 30 yrs old I would kinda expect it to be about done!

another idea is to ask the smog testing station people any recommendations for fixes of your problem. they may say a tune up and a cat, or maybe some other general idea.

checking codes is a good idea, making sure EGR is working, and that the CHTS is not out of spec. tuneups are always a good idea too!


I_STAY_FLY: (2009-12-10 22:17:05)

Dude Could the CHTS Cause it to not pass emissions, i mean its 2x what it should be in the carbon monoxide but the other things passed and the cat is good


Matt89: (2009-12-10 22:32:37)

Excessive carbon monoxide is the result of a too rich A/F ratio. So yes, DUDE it could very likely be the CHTS

i am willing to bet you have a chts code but have ignored it

LOL. Thats an easy bet.

This is an ongoing problem that, in my personal opinion, can no longer be pinned on any one state or school. Gross laziness or intentional misuse towards spelling combined with the "It's just the Internet" attitude is now a world wide plague that extends to e-mail, resumes, newspapers, product advertising etc.

I place some of the blame on parents that simply should not have been allowed to swim in the gene pool. Unfortunately, society threw them a "save our genetically deficient" life ring and allowed them splash their feet in the shallow end anyway.

I also blame video games:
