My car came from colorado (approx. 6000 ft elevation) and now resides in hillsboro, oregon. (elevation 168 ft.) I wanted to know if any of you guys know wheather here are different ECU setting of any kind, or possible a different fuel pressure regulator or something for higher elevations. (thinner air) '
I wanted to know because my car is putting out 19.5 THc when 1.5 is the limit, and 268.7 CO, when 30.2 is the limit. So my car is taking in 2-3 times the fuel it should be. I took it to satan. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'> I mean the dealer. the Nissan dealer. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> They are gonna tune it up. But all the chemicals coming out of the tailpipe are caused by excess fuel that cannot be burned up. My ignition system is fine, and my cat is taking care of one of the chemicals, so it probably is doing the other two as best as it can. (even without a cat, you won't put out 20 ppm of THc, mine is crazy high)
The reason I need to get this done immediately is beacuse I am on my second trip permit, and you only get 2 per year in oregon. thanks guys.

I'd also check the O2 sensor, it can do funky things with your car.
I wonder if you could tag it here where there is no emissions test? Do they give you a sticker or something that says it passed?

p.s.
Hillsboro! damn dude I thought I was the only Oregon(Roseburg here) guy in this place. What part of Hb you in?
My best friend just moved to Hillsboro so he could work for Intel and lives just off Hwy 26 (the one the goes to Astoria and the coast) and I'm going to be up there for the Roy Jones Jr. fight on 19th of Sept. Maybe you could show me where the cool car hangouts are up there!

I am close to shute road, and I can see the jones farm intel campus from my front yard... Is that the one he works at?
I just called around, O2 sensor is 25 bucks, dealer wanted 50, plus another 180 for installation. They diagnosed it as the problem for 37 bucks. I'm gonna do it myself.
Also, I haven't had a cool car long yet, so I don't know the hangouts. I will once school starts. (sept 3rd)

and just to answer the original question. No, there are no ECU elevation setting or any kind. The fuel maps and air/fuel is all monitored by sensors (MAFS, O2, etc) and regulated by the ECU based on what the sensors are reading.

Reset ECU. Plain and simple.

Pornallstar: thanks, I already tried it. It didn't do jack. But I got the O2 sensor installed in 10 minutes, with minimal hose clamp induced rectangular puncture woulds inflicted to left middle finger. (just one, bled like a bitch, no stiches this time. Last time I cut a middle finger it cost me 8 stiches)
And the glasses were a total joke, the mimmick aviator's and petiphile shades. I would still wear them, but i have misplaced them. I gotta find them! (everyone interprits them in a non-serious manner, but says they make me look like a bad ass, lol)
Ok, way OT story time. I went to the DEQ, and for the first time in my life there was someone at the DEQ that was not a trailer trash mutant. She was accually really hot. About 5'6'', maybe 110 lbs, blonde hair, big blue eyes, cute smile, perky ass, you get it, right? Anyway, Me and her were talking, and she said, "thats a sweet car." I than said, "thanks, I just love it." Than I asked her for her phone number.
Later at her house during her lunch break she was like, "So, what High School did you go to?" I kinda hesitated, and she interrupted, "or still go to?" I said glencoe. Than she was like," Senior?" I say, "junior". Then I find out she graduated in 01. Good thing i just had a birthday, haha, or else i would still be 16. She is 19. Age ain't nuthin but a number though...
Well thats enough talking about picking up chicks in my SEXY ASS S13 for now. I would tell my story from last friday, but it was kinda in the grey area, so I better not.
And this is why i thought of that event... I gotta find my glasses so I can go to the DEQ omorrow, pass, and hit on the damn fine blonde in my bad ass sunglasses.
