passed inspection with a smokey car

ok....here is the story. It is a rainy day and I decided to get the car inspected. Drove to my friends house and we went to the inspection station. He works there, but is out on disability. Car failed for a headlight out. It must have gone out on the drive there, it was fine yesterday. No big deal, go to the store and replace the bulb in the rain. Then I go back to the inspection station and the car is not driving right. Feels like it is misfiring slightly, but the car is programed so the SEL does not come on. I stopped at a light and the car started to chug a little bit and the AFR was going rich. Real rich about 10 afr. Light turns green and she smoothes out with a little gas. Ran fine and idled fine after that until I went to show the guy I replaced my headlight. It got rich about 9AFR and was smoking out the tail pipes. White smoke. I pulled it up so I can shut the car down and not block anyone behind me.

While he was getting my sticker ready (I passed :th_scratchhead:) I reprogrammed the car to normal. It took a few turns to get the car started, probably from being rich. The SEL was blinking and the codes were p0300 and p0206. Misfire and injector 6 there is an issue. Can i get some direction with the p0206? I assume the 2 are related.

anyway the drive home was fun. It ran like crap for a good 15 min and then smoothed out. The 30 min drive home was fine.
 


Well, I found the issue this fine easter morning. Someone that worked on my car decided that the injector connector needed to be replaced. The worst part is their soldiering skills were not good and the connection was hanging on by 1 strand of the wire. needless to say that problem is fixed and will never happen again
