1986 'Nuttered' CJ7 4.2L Canadian Emissions Data

Mike Romain 16 April 2005 02:52:08
 Well after arguing myself blue with a 'mechanic' that says no way a Jeep
with a carb can pass emissions in California if you disable the
emissions computer or do a 'Nutter' on it after the first guy I think to
put the directions online:

http://www.off-road­.com/jeep/jnutter1.h­tm

It gives a sweet 25% 'seat of the pants' power boost and an 'easy' 10
mph extra per gear.

The mechanic's reasoning is the NOx will blow out or the timing will
have to be too far back to pass.

The Jeep numbers for an 89 YJ 4.2 in California are 875 NOx on the ASM
2525 test I was told.

I found my 2003 ASM 2525 emissions papers for my Canadian 1986 CJ7 that
I
disabled the computer in.

Specs.

- 1986 Canadian CJ7 4.2L, Likely 60,000 original miles on it.
- 'No' Catalytic converter (not needed in Canada)
- 2" straight pipe with a high flow Dynomax turbo muffler.
- No computer, 'Nuttered'
- Base timing set at 9 deg BTDC with the vacuum line off like the book
says for a non computer engine. (If I go with the higher RPM setting of
full advance the sticker on a YJ says, I end up with 6 or 7 deg. BTDC
base and I find that too boggy for power so I even have room to play
there.)
- 92 octane ESSO gas.
- Ported on the timing advance
- Stock BBD carb set to 'best lean idle' and always a fresh $20.00
rebuild kit for the test.
- Accel Supercoil for hot spark with Champion plugs and OEM wires.
- Strong pull up to 4400 rpm, then falls flat.
- 11L/100km or something like 23 US mpg highway

On the ASM 2525 test I got 589 NOx!!!!!.

And 16 ppm HC

And 0.11% CO

Photo of the papers here:

And a post on alt.binaries.pictur­es.autos.4x4 with the JPG photo of the
paperwork.

Not a fluke, I killed the computer in 2000, this 2003 one was just the
only year they actually put the NOx reading on because I don't have to
pass that.

And the best part is I have passed the last test it ever will need! It
becomes too old before the next one.

The problem is, in Calif., the system has to physically be installed. I
don't know what the bypass entails, but if stuff is removed, then the
vehicle fails because of the visual inspection that comes before the sniff
test.

There is considerable irony here, the bypass can conceivably result in
better performance with the sniffer, but because the system hasn't got all
of the components, it automatically fails. The vehicle can spit out better
numbers, but if the parts are missing, it will fail. Sad - even stupid - but
true.

 All the junk can be left in place. It only requires 2 new wires from
the ignition module to the distributor that fit inside the loom.

You then just set the carb mix and timing. That's it!

If you have to put it back, it is only 2 wires to change.....

 Talk about blatant extortion eh? If I failed, I also could give the
garage $450.00 for a conditional pass.

Just a coincidence that a carb is $365.00 plus $100.00 to put it in eh.

The $tealer still sells the canister and there are places in the US that
sell them so you can still get one.

The canister is needed for decent running and gas fume control but if
dead, it craps out the carb and PCV.

 Oh, you can usually clean the EGR's out. Carbon is an issue and for
sure you need one working to pass the sniffer.

 Oh, an EGR is a hundred, the canister is $165 for the last one I saw
bought, add 2 hours labour to get $180 to put the crap in should get you
the extortion pass....

U Know Who 16 April 2005 08:08:34 permanent link ]
 ya extortion test that's a good name for it.
it appears my egr is broken as the swivel vacuum nipple seems to be bent and
the housing of where the vacuum nipple sits is cracked and broken.

I'm going to pay for the diagnostics test then take the recommendations and
do the work myself and keep a folder with receipts. then take it back for
the retest once I hit my limit. and also at that point I will have my new
egr and whatever else they recommend as well as my nutter bypass and 3
ounces of acetone added to the fuel.

On my e test they put that I have a 4.0L.
On my asm2525 test my NO ppm was 3677 timing was way to advanced limit was
893. And curb idle test HC ppm was 325 limit was 200.reason idle to high and
mixture screws set to rich. also CO% was 1.03 missed a pass by .04

well at least I can assume that I should pass next time as the jeep was so
out of tune. reason for being out of tune I found a bad vacuum leak and
never adjusted the carb to reflect the stopped vacuum leak.

been so long since I played with a carbed equipped veh. and the fact that it
is also computer controlled sucks. which basically means that some of my
adjustment can be over ruled by the computer.

alwell

keep fingers crossed for Tuesday. diagnostic day.
the retest down the road.
not so bad cause ministry issued me real plates even though it was a resale
change of ownership. so theoretically I don't require a test till my plate
renewal.

 I've done the "Nutter" - it is very sweet and easy. The power is seat of the
pants noticeable. You can hide the wires easy. Definitely 2 thumbs up.

We don't have to have things stuffed up our tail in Missouri (yet).

 You need to be really careful there.

That 'extortion' money is only valid if you pay it to the garage, doing
the work yourself doesn't/didn't count and even with receipts might not
work. It didn't work when I first tried it on my Cherokee that failed.
Turns out mine was under O2 recall, so once they did that the Cherokee
passed.

I would 'not' add any cleaner like acetone to the fuel system. That can
put tons of crud into the gas that can take weeks to get burned through
and will likely set the sniffer off.

Oh you also will get your next test for free!

Because they put the wrong engine down, the test was not valid and they
still owe you for the test you paid for. Really, this has happened to
friends before, just take back in the paperwork.

 You might get burned on the theory of have the diagnostic tell you whats
wrong and then do the work yourself. If you live here in the Land of
"Dalton I'm dumber then rock M'ginty" (Ontario). You will need to show any
and all work was preformed by an authorized repair facility in order to meet
the cap quota. If you do $350.00 dollars of repairs on your own before the
retest and still fail that $350.00 WON"T count towards the cap (about
$550.00 IIRC).

Also that cap is good for one time only, the first time a vehicle fails it
has a repair cap and it will be granted a conditional pass (one time only)
subsequent fails the vehicle is to be fixed until it passes.

Two tests ago my 93 XJ fail, here is a breakdown of the repair charges by
Cambodian Tire.
Diagnostic $100.00
O2 sensor $ 80.00
Oil Change $ 15.00 (this was oil only)
Air/Oil/Fuel filter $50.00 (filters only)
Labour $145.00 ($60/hr)
Total $390.00

The cap was $500 as the test had been established in my area for sometime.
The Cherokee still failed the retest after all that was done. The last
thing the Tech. did before retesting was the oil change (cost about $20)
main reason he did this was the next step in the T/S was to change the cat.
$370.00 still allowed him to change the cat, $390.00 ment that repair would
put me over the cap and he couldn't do it.

I asked thenif I were to do the work (change the sensor) and return with it
would they retest it, No problem, but if it still failed I would have to
prove that a authorized shop fixed it otherwise I would still have that $500
cap, if an authorized shop fixed their charges would be deducted from the
cap total and I would have the remaining still to spend.

U Know Who 18 April 2005 07:31:04 permanent link ]
 hi according the to gov of Ontario emissions pamphlet.
I must have a diagnostic performed by authorized fix place.
then according to there diagnostic sheet of probable causes I can do the
repairs according to only what is on the list up to the repair cost limit. I
must keep all receipts and the diagnostic list to show as proof. but only I
or the garage that did the test can work on my car to count toward the
limit.
I would get more bang for my buck if I do the work than paying them to do
it.

so couple of questions what happens when you have spent your 450 and then go
back 2 yrs later and you fail again and the list of repairs have been done
but ya still fail. oh and what happens when parts are no longer available
from any source to fix emissions components which I have all ready run into.
carbed jeeps rarely pass emissions and if they do they are so leaned out
that ya can't drive them.
next year the Howell fuel injection set up. I have already spoken to them
and there off road kit meets regular emission requirements other than cali.
plus the increase in fuel economy will make it worth it.

so cause they put the wrong engine I should get a free re test eh well I'll
try it and see.

now I'm starting to see why the guy sold this jeep.
still not deterred though just fed up with gov.

well I will be paying 170 for diagnostics that include carb and timing
adjustments, as well as emission components check.and they have the jeep for
the entire day.
that's got to be worth something there.

 Crap man, where do you live?

I am in Toronto and am home most days with more than half a clue how to
set them up for our 'Canadian' emissions pass. I can't do much work,
but I can sure still point....

My CJ7 goes like a scalded cat! It lights up my 33's too easy from a
start, I pull really fast to 50 mph in 2nd gear hitting about 4400 rpm,
3rd gear pulls hard up to 75 mph, 4th will bury the speedo and I have
'no' freakin' urge to find out how fast 5th will go.....

And my readings are below.

If it fails two years later it all has to be fixed again. If it managed a
conditional pass the previous year it HAS to pass and has no cap (just like
it does when you purchase a used vehicle). You might get more bang for your
buck doing the work yourself (going by the dianostic, and keeping the
receipts) but your time will be worth ZERO of the cap. sometimes labour
costs can be the savior on the cap.

As for non available parts, well if you change out the engine for either an
engine that never exsisted in that vehicle (i.e. put a 305 into your jeep)
or you install an engine no longer produced for that vehicle and no longer
produced by the car maker (i.e. putting a 283 into a 1993 gmc truck) you
will be tested as a hotrod.

For the 'hot rod' test, you now have to go to a $tealer and get a letter
stating the engine you have was never used in your vehicle or have the
test done at the $tealer so they just know this.

Places like Canadian Tire require the letter now they told me.

That's not much of a problem, Most stealerships should know what engines
were used in what cars during which years.
Also the engine has to be out of production in the year the vehicle was
made. If you place a 350 engine (from an 88 vette) into your 92 Blazer you
won't be tested as a hotrod, you will be tested as a 350 engine and have to
pass 1992 350 emissions due to the 350 still being a production engine in
1992. If you install a 283 into the same vehicle you will get the hotrod
test as that engine was last produced in 1967 (?) or so.

If you install an engine (say 350 again) into a ford, dodge or jeep you will
be tested as a hotrod as (for the most part in the last 20 yrs.) Jeep hasn't
used the GM 350.

Another way people try to beat the smoggers is to install a newer engine
then whats in their vehicle, swap out their 1990 4.0 for a 1998, in this
case the test is still done to 1990 standards (unless you shoot your mouth
off at the testing facility).

Snow ... think I'll install a 283 in the 89 Caprice wagon for hotrod
status .. lol

Yup, I got the hot rod status for my first test, but then they figured
out a 258 was a 258 no matter if it came with a 1 bbl with no emissions
or a 2 bbl with a computer so I had to pass the real test for the 86
CJ7.

 next question it the test start for 86 and on vehicles or does it rotate
with time. as in 19 yrs back from the current year?

all I know is if I run my jeep parked in the same spot there will appear a
black mark on the pavement where the exhaust is.

obviously to rich. lots of carbon.

well tomorrow Tuesday is the day.... guess I will let them do the work and
hit the cap. sounds like the best idea.
but first that free redo on the test as they have my motor as a 4.0L see how
that goes by with the shop owner.
that is the third mechanic that I have had to fight with when stating it is
a 4.2L gesh what is up with mechanics they have computers that tell them
this stuff.

 Good luck, please let us know.

My 86 will no longer have to pass any more tests! The next one is due
in 2007 and it will be over 20 years old then.

Mike

 You should come meet us on our camping runs, We wheel just north of
Kingston in the Bon Echo Park area and if you spent a couple days with
some notice I could bring my tune up tools along and we could spend an
afternoon by the lake fishing with a couple cold ones while tweaking up
the old 4.2...

I have to/should stop by Kingston soon anyway, the gent that built my
CJ7's 'glass body lives there and he offered to help me fix the crack
that happened when I rolled her.

 well took to shop and then got a call 2 hrs later.
the hard drive in the dyno gave out.
only a certified tech can gain entry to the cabinet for the dyno so my
appointment has been reset for Monday nest week.
also after discussing it with tech and him discussing with another tech they
are going to do a do over with my test as they as certain that the standards
are different. between 4.0L and 4.2L that will be in my advantage (do over
is free).
so the saga continues.
