Hi inotion,

We need to know the specifics of the failed emission test. What was the pressure test you mentioned and the results?

Ok well I live in arizona. Just bought the car so need it to pass smogg so I can finish the car

ok its a 1994 honda civic si 1.6L engine d16z6. Now the portion that fail was the equipment/presure inspection

they check the evaporative system that passed. They check the fuel cap that passed and then they did a pressure test and that failed. And at the bottom of the paper work it says this vehicle has failed the equipent inspection.

Now the guy has told me that it can be the vacuum that goes to the fuel tank. Looked at a haynes book doesnt say how to replace it. Does say to replace the o rings on the fuel tank side and thats it. Its 38 bucks everything u take it in. So if the line is actually damage it will fail again. But have no clue how to replace it dont see it under the vehicle I just see 3 lines going to the gas tank and 3 lines coming out of the bottom of the fire wall one goes to the fuel filter one goes to the evap and one curves around and goes to the fuel return.

The hose from EVAP to rear fuel tank should be the vacumn hose you are worried about. I could not find any good or complete diagrams of the system to show you so I hope the following testing procedures is of help to you.

To replace the O ring you mentioned, you would need to remove the fuel tank.
