You need an English grammar book for your composition is a grammatical nightmare. As to the logic of asking here as this Honda Civic, yes it is a proper name and the large first letters, accessed by the use of the SHIFT key, are mandatory, needed repairs, well, that is just as idiotic. Sorry, but how do you expect an answer? How old are you? Do you have fear of mechanics? If you can't afford a mechanic for this 20 year old vehicle, scrap it. Fact of life.
At a glance I'd say the ignition timing is a little too high because of the high HC & NOx and you need a new catalytic converter. Also, the high CO reading would indicate that your Oxygen sensor is pretty tired, replace that too.
Typically a high CO reading would bring NOx levels down but high ignition timing will keep NOx high as well. The fact that all the gases are elevated means the cat is dead or not there.
It is the SELLERS responsibility to smog the car before selling…
You bought a car that needed smogged? Why would you do that? Congrats to the seller for dumping it.
- What's the value of a honda odyssey with a failed transmission? I paid $3750 FOR A HONDA ODYSSEY, WHAT WILL IT BE WORTH WITH A FAILED TRANSMISSION? VAN IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH All THE SAME TIRES, CLEAN INSIDE AND NO DENTS.
- 1995 Honda Magna vs 1995 Honda VFR 750? Which is better at -top speed -acceleration -do you think the top two matter? -driving pleaser (if you know) -sound (if you know) -reliability I'm looking to get one of these two but I'm not sure which one. I feel like I love these two motorcycles equally so do I get the cheaper one that I can find?
- How to fix a problem with a 1995 Honda del sol, where the fuel pump only works sometimes? The fuel pump has been replaced but only gets power sometimes. It's not the regulator and not the fuse. They have power going to the fuse but not to the fuel pump.
- Moving to LA for 3.5 months. Would I need to get car smog checked there? I heard LA has a high emission standards and I'm moving there for 3.5 months for school. I'm bringing my car there and I'm wondering do I need to get my vehicle checked for emissions? I have a 2014 Honda CR-V. There's not point in bringing my car there if I can't even drive it there.
