Pacesetter Marketing, Inc. 2. Update Sheet _ This Executive Order is also based on On Board Diagnostic II (OBD I1) testing conducted on the same vehicles Test data showed that the headers when installed on the vehicles did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD II monitoring. A modified oxygen sensor placement is used on 4 cyl. Honda vehicle applications, the sensor is placed in a short balance tube that is located in a connecting pipe after the header. The sensor remained near its stock location which did not affect emissions or OBD I! monitoring based on submitted data. The Ford headers retained the oxygen sensor in its stock location. For the Honda, NMOG and HCHO were calculated using the following conversion factors: NMOG/NMHC=0.9707 and HCHO/NMHC= 0.0150, NMHC was measured at 0.053. 50K deterioration factors (dfs) used were NMOG, 0.003, CO, 0.166, NOx, 0.045 and HCHO, 0.00012. Vehicle test weight and horse power, 3500 lbs. and 7.8. For the Ford, NMOG and HCHO were calculated using the following conversion factors: NMOG/NMHC=1.0335 and HCHO/NMHC= 0.0161, NMHC was measured at 0.101. 50K deterioration factors (dfs) used were NMOG, 0.0083 CO, 0.06, NOx, 0.02 and HCHO, 0.0003.
