Abstract

This  paper  describes the  results  of  a project on  passenger  cars  to evaluate
the effectiveness  of idle  adjustment  at  commercial  repair  facilities.   This
effort  involved  a total  of 222 passenger cars tested  by Automotive Testing
Laboratories (ATL) & Automotive Environmental Systems, Inc. (AESI)  during 1979
and 1980.  These vehicles were a subset of 1225 vehicles tested in St. Louis,
Washington D.C.,  Phoenix  and Los Angeles  as part  of  the FY 77 and FY 79 Pas-
senger -Car Emission  Factor Programs.   Only vehicles which arrived for testing
without  limiter  caps were  eligible to participate in the  survey.   After the
complete laboratory test, a contractor employee took each vehicle to a service
station, independent  garage or dealer and asked simply  that  the idle mixture
and speed  be adjusted  to manufacturer's  specifications.  Upon  return to the
laboratory,  the  work  performed  by  the  facility  was  evaluated  using  a
tachometer and garage-type  emission analyzer.  The sequence was completed when
the contractor's mechanic  performed  the idle adjustments to  the  best of his
ability.  The data obtained illustrates the inability or unwillingness of the
majority of  commercial  repair  facilities to properly set  idle mixtures.   The
results  of  this project  point to  the need for mechanic training  in reducing
vehicle emissions through correct maintenance procedures.

-------
Background

According  to the  Clean Air  Act  and  its  Amendments,  the  Environmental  Pro-
tection Agency  (EPA)  is  required  to  encourage  and implement  programs  which
will assure  that  properly maintained vehicles will meet  their emission stan-
dards throughout  their useful life.   Inspection/Maintenance  programs  are the
primary force  behind this  effort  to  control  emissions  from  in-use  vehicles
with the work  to  be performed by the  commercial repair  industry.  It is well
known that a substantial  number of in-use vehicles will  not meet their emis-
sion standards  when tested  in an  as-received condition  (Reference  1  and 2).
One  of  the  major  reasons  is  that  the idle  mixture  and speed  has  been mal-
adjusted.   In order for these vehicles to meet their emission standards, these
adjustments  must  be  made  correctly.   The typical places for these adjustments
to  be  made  include dealerships,  service  stations,  and  independent  garages.

Purpose

This study  was  designed   to  evaluate  the ability  of the  commercial  repair
industry to set idle adjustments to manufacturer's specifications.

Selection and Test Procedures

Vehicles  selected for  this  project  were recruited  primarily  from  the  FY79
Passenger Car  Emission Factor  Program.   Vehicles which  arrived at  the  con-
tractor's  facility  missing their  idle mixture  limiter  caps were chosen for
this study.  Two  hundred  and twenty-two such  vehicles out  of a total of 1225
passenger cars  tested  were taken  to commercial  facilities  by various persons
in  the contractor's  organization  (secretaries, engineers, technicians, etc.).
The following procedures were employed:

Before leaving the contractor's facility  - Vehicle identification information
was recorded on worksheets provided by EPA.   Idle readings (CO, HC,  RPM)  were
also measured  and recorded.   Any  evidence that the vehicle  was in  a testing
program  (e.g.,  data packets  or exhaust connectors) was  removed from  the ve-
hicle.   A  repair  facility was contacted to set up an appointment to  have idle
mixture and speed adjusted.  If possible, all adjustments were to be  performed
while the  driver  waited.   No reference was  made to  any affiliation  with an
emission testing lab or that this was to be part of an 'EPA study.

At repair facility - The  driver  requested that  the idle  mixture and  speed be
adjusted  to  manufacturer's specifications.  If  questioned  why,  it was stated
that they  had  heard that  this is a very important adjustment from a  number of
standpoints,  such  as fuel  economy  and  engine performance.  If  the  mechanic
insisted that other maintenance be performed, the driver stated that  he wanted
only the  idle  adjusted at this time  to see what difference  it  made.   If the
mechanic  said  that he  did not know  how to  set it to specifications,  he was
asked  to  set  it   as  best  he could.   Notes were made  (although not  in the
mechanic's  presence)  of  any  of  his  comments and  actions.   Observations
regarding  instruments  and  tools  used as well  as cost  data were also recorded
on the worksheets.

-------
After returning to the  contractor's  facility  -  ICO,  IHC,  and IRPM  were mea-
sured and  recorded,  as were  the  number  of ^ turns necessary to  lightly seat
the idle mixture  screws.   The mixture screw settings were  not  measured prior
to  sending the  vehicle to  the  commercial  repair facility  in  order  not  to
disturb  the  as-received   settings.   Idle parameters  were  then  adjusted  to
manufacturer's specifications by  contractor mechanics  and  the location of the
idle  mixture  screws  relative  to the lightly  seated  position was  recorded.
ICO,  IHC  and  IRPM were again  measured  and  recorded.   New  limiter  caps were
installed in the center position.  The vehicle  was then returned  to its owner.

Discussion

Idle Test  Results  -  The results  of  each  of  the 225 vehicles involved in this
project are listed in the Appendix.  The  contractor for St.  Louis, Washington,
D.C.  and  Phoenix  was Automotive  Testing  Laboratories  (ATL),  while  Automotive
Environmental Systems,  Inc.   (AESI)  was  the contractor for  Los Angeles.   The
results for each city are summarized below.

     St. Louis -  Eighty three 1975-1979  model  year passenger cars  were taken
     to  commercial repair  facilities.  The results  of  these adjustments  are
     summarized   in   Figure   1.    After   adjustment  at   commercial  repair
     facilities,  idle HC concentration increased by 87% and idle  CO increased
     by 30%.   The engine  RPM values, representing the average absolute dif-
     ference  from  manufacturer's  specifications,  Were  essentially  unchanged.
     The average  cost  for these adjustments  was  $4.97.  A  histogram showing
     the number of % turns required for proper adjustment  of the  idle mixture
     screws after  return from the commercial  repair facility is  also included
     in Figure 1.

     Washington D.C.  -  Sixty  one 1977-1980 model  year passenger  cars  were
     taken  to  commercial repair  facilities.  Their results  are summarized  in
     Figure 2.   After  adjustments at commercial  repair facilities,  idle  HC
     concentration increased  by  23%  and  idle   CO  remained  unchanged.  Again,
     the engine RPM  values,  representing the average absolute difference from
     manufacturer's specification were virtually unchanged.   The  average cost
     was $4.67.  A histogram showing the number of ^ turns  required  for proper
     adjustment  after  return  from  the   commercial  repair  facility  is  also
     included in Figure 2.

     Phoenix - Forty  eight 1975-1978 model year passenger  cars were taken to
     commercial  repair  facilities.   The  results  of   these adjustments  are
     summarized   in   Figure  3.    After   adjustment  at   commercial  repair
     facilities,   idle HC concentration increased by 40% and idle  CO decreased
     by  7%.   The  engine RPM values, representing  the average absolute  dif-
     ference from manufacturers specifications,  decreased by 28%.   The average
     cost of these adjustments was $5.32.  A histogram  showing the number of %
     turns  required  for proper  adjustment of   the  idle  mixture  screws  after
     return from  the  commercial repair facilities is also  included  in Figure
     3.

-------
     Los Angeles  - Thirty  1975-1978 passenger cars  tested in  1979  by Auto-
     motive Environmental  Systems Inc.  as  part of the FY  77  Emission Factor
     Program are  included in  this  report.   These  thirty passenger  cars were
     also taken to  commercial  repair facilities for adjustments.  The results
     of  these  adjustments are  summarized in Figure  4.   After  adjustment  at
     commercial repair  facilities,   idle  HC  decreased by 38% and  idle CO de-
     creased by 28%.   The engine RPM values, representing the difference from
     manufacturer's specifications,  decreased  by  18%.  The  repair facilities
     in Los Angeles appeared to do a much better job than in the other cities.
     On the other  hand  the average cost of repairs in Los Angeles was $16.76.
     This is  substantially higher  than in the other cities.   The factors  of
     cost and  quality may  be  due to California's  licensing of  mechanics and
     repair facilities.

Results  of  the Federal  Test  Procedure - Although  the Federal  Test Procedure
(FTP) was not  performed  on these vehicles after they returned from the repair
facility, the FTP emissions for the fleet were collected  and averaged based on
the presence of  limiter  caps  upon arrival at the  laboratory.   These averages
are  listed   in Table  1.  The   values  here indicate that vehicles  without
limiter caps have  average HC  and CO emission levels  which  exceed those where
the limiter caps are intact.

Conclusions

1.   Only minor adjustments would be required to allow most vehicles to pass a
     basic I/M test.

2.   The commercial repair industry does not currently adjust idle mixture and
     speed properly.

3.   A  lack  of  training  and  proper equipment  (tachometers and  exhaust an-
     alyzers)  is  apparent  in  the  performance of  this  type  of maintenance.

4.   In  order  to  conduct  successful  Inspection/Maintenance  programs,  some
     incentives and  a major  effort  in mechanic training will  be  required  to
     ensure that idle adjustments are made properly.
