Every two years, Connecticut mandates a vehicle emissions test for all drivers. While it may come as a surprise if your car fails, there are often subtle signs that can indicate an issue with the emissions system before the test.
The emissions system is designed to reduce harmful pollutants released into the atmosphere while also helping the engine run more efficiently and saving fuel. It includes components like the fuel tank, carburetor, exhaust, and crankcase. Most modern vehicles are equipped with an Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) system, which captures and burns off harmful gases before they escape into the air. Key parts of the EVAP system include:
- A vapor recirculation tube
- A vapor control valve
- An evaporative emission canister
- A fuel tank pressure sensor
- A canister vent valve
- A purge valve for the evaporative canister
- A two-way evaporative valve
Controlling emissions not only protects the environment but also improves public health. Ignoring these issues can lead to higher rates of asthma and carbon monoxide poisoning in communities.
Here are some common signs that your vehicle may have an emissions problem:
**Check Engine Light**
While not always specific, the check engine light can signal a range of issues, from a faulty sensor to a leak in the system, which could result in harmful gas emissions.
**Decreased Performance**
If you’ve noticed your car running rough or losing power, it might be related to the emissions system. Since the system interacts with the engine, fuel, and exhaust systems, performance issues can be a red flag.
**Declining Fuel Economy**
A sudden drop in miles per gallon or increased fuel consumption can point to a leak in the emissions system, such as in the carburetor, muffler, exhaust manifold, or fuel tank.
**Strange Smells**
Unusual odors coming from the exhaust, especially a strong gasoline smell, may indicate a fuel leak. This can happen even when the car isn’t running, so it's important to address it quickly.
**Leaking Fuel Tank**
If the EVAP control canister becomes clogged or damaged, it can cause the fuel tank to leak, affecting the system’s performance and potentially leading to safety risks.
