Hello,
I'm new here, let me tell you guys a bit about myself. I'm a car enthusiast, looking to go into auto-mechanics. I'd be taking care of any car I purchase myself. Also, I'm a senior in high school (please refrain from flaming). Inspection requirements are NJ.
I'm in the process of finding an RX-8 for purchase. One that I am looking at now is a 2004 Rx-8, 78,xxx miles.
Exterior has denting on drivers side on the door, apparently from a car door in NYC. Apart from that, exterior is flawless.
Interior is pristine as well.
Now for the reason I am coming to your guys.
The car failed inspection, due to emissions.
Exhaust looks stock, has cats.
CEL is on.
Error code P0562 is present.
Negative battery terminal has quite a bit of corrosion going under the heat wrap of the wire.
Exhaust gas smells stronger than a regular car, but nothing disastrous, no hints of burning oil.
Minor, perhaps related issues?
When I got into the car, trip-meter was at 0. seemed odd, did not ask owner.
Radio does not seem to work. Being a child of the 21st century I doubt it is due to my inability to turn radio on properly
After doing a bit of research, and consulting/running ideas past an older acquaintance who does all the work on his own '95 nissan 300zx these are the deductions I've made.
Error code has to do with charging system... incorrect voltages reaching PCM. Replacing and sealing corroded terminal/battery cable should clear the error code.
Now, could this charging system fault be causing dirty emissions, thus failing inspection?
Or do I need to replace cats and O2 sensors in order to pass inspection?
Thanks a lot in advance, any constructive input is appreciated.
