I owned a car with that miserable engine ('90 Beretta GTZ). The biggest emission problem was the coolant going out the tailpipe (head gasket issues).

The engine had great potential: a DOHC, 16V, high-compression, lightweight domestic engine that cranked out 180 hp from 2.3L. 5-Speed -- fun car. 75K miles it started acting funny. White vapor from the tailpipe and chocolate brown coolant. Cold starts sounded like the cylinders rings were grinding for the first few seconds. This is when I gave up and bought my first Civic.
