Failed Emissions Again
:pop: woohooooo! 4x failed the emissions!! yes i rock! lets see whats been done
new muffler new cat 2 bottles of seafoamman new plugs wires new pcv cleaned out egr and its working ( did vac test) timing is right oil change man this truck runner sooooooooo good now gas milage up lots of power for a 3.slow im thinking it might end up with some 9mm holes |
Im thinking their tester is busted..
|
me too! MY SCORE WENT UPPPPPPPPPPP!
|
call your state testing centre and get them to recommend another shop. i had problems with mine, turned out the egr was non-functional. once that was changed, passed without issue.
good luck. lee |
What, specifically (CO2, etc), is failing and what's the value, measured and max. allowed ?

Check your plugs and see what color they are. If they are black then you're truck is running rich.
My next suspected culprit would be water temp. sensor, not the sensor for the dash gauge. If it's busted your computer will always run rich like it's still in warm up mode. |
no is high 956 is max im at 1149 plugs look great just changed state doesnt tell ya to go anywher i can do it all myself if i like EGR is working from what i can tell hooked vac line to it and engine tries to stall
|
im gonna do one last thing before i REPLACE the egr im gonna clean it full take off and clean hopefully that does it
|
the NO was high on mine and it turned out to be a combo of a plugged pcv valve and the timing being set out of wack (it had been tampered with by the shop where I went for testing [they were shut down I heard]) I'd get a different shop to check everything again if I were you...
|
before u go crazy, i would check the mass air flo censor, if it is the least bit dirty it would fail emission. i failed three times at that was the cause. simply cleaned with carb cleaner. good luck.

. Now why in the world would you change from 5W30 to 10W30 ?? :think: :) Fred |
The 5w30 was running a little thin I had to add about a qrt. between changes I put in the 10w30 and it was'nt loosing as much... now that I'm running the Engine Restorer stuff at each change as well I might tyr the 5w30 again but this engine has 315K on it and the thicker oil might still be better... we'll see what happens...

move :hillbill: ....No testing where I live :banger:
j/k |
Have you done a compression test to see if it is way high?
|
You must be burning oil. Either valves or rings.
|
do you warm it up (like a 15 mile day drive 1st)
and you can add some alchohol to the fuel (or something ) to make it burn really clean. maybe the octane of fuel is too high or too poor quality. either that, or put some holes in the top of the exhaust pipe:think: |
have I missed the suggestion of O2 sensor(s) ?
