Hi every one, Well it's registration time again for my D hear in California Home of the Emission control freaks!!! While this subject is not dealt with much hear on the list, I thought that as I just went threw the smog testing it would be worth a comment or two. The standards hear in California are very high requiring that auto emissions be below certain limits. For instance the following levels are the maximum allowed: 2500rpm: HC PPM 0150 CO% 1.50 CO2 21.50 02 9.90 When I took my D in for the test, it has run for a year with out an official tune up, and had just air cleaner and oil changes, no plug gapping or replacements, no point cleaning - nothing. It passed easily with the following results. 2680rpm HC PPM 0016 CO% .15 CO2 11.90 02 3.90 IDLE@0868rpm 02 1.30 The whole point is our D's are one of the cleanest running cars on the road even after 18 years. Kinda of nice to know that at least here in California the smog monsters are not a source of grief to us D persons.
