Re: i help you with az emissions
The last time I reset an OBD-II vehicle after an evaporative system part replacement, I drove just over 100 miles (because I wanted to and because I didn't want to deal with going to test twice.) It passed fine then. It's not a set distance; it's a number of factors affecting whether the PCM is "ready." But 100mi. should do it for sure.
As far as helping you, the original poster of this thread doesn't understand emissions laws, so good luck with that.

Re: i help you with az emissions
Your question is not relevant.
What someone can "get by with" doesn't equal what the laws are.
I'm already aware of the significantly slack visual inspection now compared to years back. No one gives a crap about the AIR system in my car (it's there, but not 100%) or the EFE TVS in the t-stat housing. not being hooked up to anything. No one tests EGR valves by lifting the diaphragm.
Did you want to play a particular card in this game or would you like to concede that the inspection station in AZ don't fully enforce emissions laws per federal and state law? Because that's a fact.
Opening up a discussion with someone and trying to set yourself up as an authority of some sort while at the same time posting you can illegally get them tags doesn't help your case.

And nobody asked you if they're illegal so you comment is not relevant.

Re: i help you with az emissions
Threadjack...maybe. Was searching for help with emissions..... Az ironically and found this thread...from 2009, looks like it was just brought back to life.
I failed today. HC wasnt too bad, nothing cap-rotor-coil-wires-plugs wont fix....I hope.
I CO was off the fuggin' chart! Standard is 40.....I hit 100.25. Yeah, I knew I was rich but wtf?
Suggestions on where to start?
Stock 92' TPI + Headers, sits in a 87' K5.

Re: i help you with az emissions
Heres the report...
Injectors and timing need to be tested, Im unsure at this point but suspect one of those two.
I have the following parts to install, 1) as a matter of routine maint. 2) piece of mind in knowing they are new:
MSD cap-rotor-coil-wires, plugs (will check comp) TPS-MAP sensors (all other are < 6mos old), T'stat, valve cover gaskets (they are leaky) will do oil-filter change, clean or replace KnN air filter. For what its worth I had also planned a CS144 swap at this time too.
After all that I will retest and go from there, but I do suspect the injectors.
What is stock size 19#?

Re: i help you with az emissions
What engine swap? Fuel injected or carb? Exhaust setup? Catalytic convertors? How was it tuned?

Re: i help you with az emissions
305 to 350, edelbrock carb, catback/flowmasters, 1 cat, as far as tuning I don't know. I put a edelbrock performer rpm intake. New mini air cleaner and tons of replacement parts. Hei distributor.

Re: i help you with az emissions
Sounds like a professional needs to adjust the carb to get fueling corrected. It might also need a new catalytic convertor. Depending on the cam in the 350 you might not be able to get it to pass though.
If this isn't your primary car, you could just put it on collector car insurance and not test it at all.

Re: i help you with az emissions
Most insurance companies offer a limited use collector car policy. The rules almost always include, 1) it can't be your daily 2) it must be garage kept 3) you have to have at least 1 other car as your primary that is not insured as a limited use collector car. Some will put limits on annual mileage. Some don't. It is an agreed value policy so the more coverage you ask for, the more expensive it will be and the more proof of value you will need to provide. But the insurance company will provide proof of this type of policy to the state and the vehicle will be exempt from emissions at that point.

Re: i help you with az emissions
iv worked at AZ emissions station M12 for a long time and i see lots of guys talking about air pumps...... in az you DO NOT need air pump to pass visual inspection on cars newer than 1980 and less than 8500lbs..... so all third gens do not need air pumps to pass VISUAL!!!! but it may harm the smog test(runnin of the car)

Re: i help you with az emissions
Well, this was just a general emissions question I had and this forum came up in the google search. Regardless of what vehicle I have, this post had info I was interested in since I live in AZ. The chance of me finding this person making the same post in the Mazda group would be almost zero. If my question violates the rules, let me know and I will delete it. Just so you know, If I had my choice , I would trade my crappy 5.0 and Mazda for an F-body and LS...Unfortunately, Finding someone to make that trade would be almost Zero also!!
