Emission test failures are increasingly common, especially in urban centers like Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi due to stricter regulations. Common reasons include:
Dirty o r clogged air filter – restricts air intake, leading to incomplete combustion.
Faulty spark plugs o r ignition system – causes misfiring, increasing unburned fuel emissions.
Worn-out oxygen sensor – sends incorrect signals to the ECU, disturbing fuel-air ratio.
Clogged catalytic converter – fails to properly convert harmful gases into less toxic ones.
Improper tuning o r ECU remapping – especially common in used JDM imports.
Solutions:
Ensure regular engine tuning and oil changes.
Replace air filter and spark plugs if overdue.
Use high-quality fuel and check for warning lights on the dashboard.
Visit a qualified mechanic for a pre-emission test diagnostic check.
