I think I have the history of Composite emission standards correct:
2000: HC 484, CO 5.09
2005: HC 800, CO 4.00
2006: HC 220, CO 1.20
2007: HC 220, CO 1.20
All those with a model year of 2005 or earlier have the higher standard, at this time. The 2000 standard has been removed for everyone. But look at the change from 2000, when I first registered, compared to 2007. As time goes on , will the current standards also be subject to further changes.
While we understand, it setting the lower emission standard, the DEP did not take into consideration the engine technology for emissions has not changed from 2000 to 2007, unless FI is used with a mild or stock cam, instead of a carb and a semi-radical or radical cam. I was not aware of the 2005 standard until I got a FAIL on the first test with the Agbar system, managed to pass the re-test.
