Emission 'Issues'



This was the result of the first emission test.  Took it there for a baseline:





Then I gave it a tune-up, and got this:




I'm getting closer.  Next I found and fixed some vacuum leaks, adjusted idle to 750 and got:



11/16
Now I'm hearing that I should check the 02 sensor (which came up NG reading .01 (not .1 .01vdc) with it at normal operating temp.  I ordered a new one.

12/15/06 got the new 02 sensor, I got up under there, but I can't get the old one out without removing the exhaust system.  Ordered the gaskets for this and got them in.  Now I need the time to do this job so I can try to get through inspection again.

The other thing everyone seems to think is that the MAF could be beat.  I only had until 11/30 to get it through inspection, I hope I get it figured out soon.  I'm now driving illegally (overdue, failed inspection)

1/5/07 I was planning to replace the 02 sensor, but no dice.  I had the exhaust in the driveway and broke my SK Ratchet handle trying to get it free.  It is not moving.  However, I also found a hole in the exhaust in front of the cats, so I need a new set of cats anyway.  I'll just splice in the new O2 sensor when I get that, hopefully in the next few weeks.

2/3/07 Got my new crossovers in.  Cranked it up with the new O2 sensor.  It's AWESOME. Also checked out the EZ-K and found I have a set of Autothority performance chips in there.  Me likey.
