In Colorado, emissions tests are performed at certified state testing facilities. If your vehicle fails, Metric Motors can diagnose the cause and handle the repairs needed so you can return for a retest.
At Metric Motors in Loveland, CO, we don’t perform emissions tests, and we can’t guarantee a pass. What we can do is diagnose why your vehicle failed and complete the emissions-related repairs that address the root issue.
Some vehicles in Colorado must pass an emissions test at a state-approved emissions testing station to renew registration, depending on the county where the vehicle is registered and the vehicle type. If you fail the test, we can diagnose what caused the failure and complete the repairs needed before you return for an official retest.
Even vehicles that passed before can fail later due to sensor issues, misfires, fuel system problems, or exhaust-related faults. If you fail, we can diagnose the issue and complete the repairs so you can head back to a certified testing facility for a retest.
Below are some common issues that can lead to an emissions test failure, plus the diagnostics and repairs we can perform after you receive a failed-test result.
Your vehicle’s oxygen sensor helps the engine computer adjust fuel and monitor the exhaust system. When an O2 sensor fails, it can trigger a check engine light and contribute to an emissions test failure. We can test the sensor and replace it when needed.
Vacuum leaks can come from cracked hoses, failing gaskets, or intake leaks, and they can also be related to sensor readings such as the MAP sensor. We can smoke-test the system, locate the leak, and repair the faulty components.
Emissions failures are often linked to misfires and ignition problems, which can increase unburned fuel in the exhaust. If your check engine light is on or you failed an emissions test, we can inspect spark plugs, coils, wires, and related components and repair the cause.
If you have already failed an emissions test or you’re trying to address a check engine light before you retest, contact Metric Motors to schedule emissions-related diagnostics and repairs.
