HELP! failed smog twice!
- Thread starter Rennat
- Start date
im gonna go test out the egr system and probably pull the valve and clean it all out...
i know we had to clean it to pass smog the first time, but it also had an intake manifold with a thick film of oil and grease! haha
UPDATE:
EGR vavle does work, because the car runs rough, but doesnt come close to stalling, so im thinking its kinda packed full of crap...
VSV is all good, it clicks and all of that shit
Vacuum modulator thing - thats all good too according to the TSRM
TPS - its adjustedproperly according to the TSRM
now im just going to try and pull the EGR vavle and clean that out before 6pm.... great.
UPDATE 2:
i said fuck it, and put my 90 turbo's fan and fan clutch on... it clears my e-fan too! hahaha
so if i have over-heating problems now, im REALLY fucked...

Take the car to a licensed emissions tech because there's enough BS in this thread I'm not going to try and correct it...
oh man... thats not what i wanted to hear from you! i remember you helped my dad 2 years ago get this thing to pass... im gonna pm ya so i dont get mis-information.
The NOx/EGR advice wasn't that bad but some of the HC stuff was a different story. Anyway, check the things I said and let us know how it goes...
will do. and im pulling 19inhg at an idle... if that matters at all.
but i took off the cat i had on there, and im not an expert, but it doesnt look too well... but damn the supra sounds nice without a cat on there at all! haha

I PASSED NAZI-FORNIA SMOG!!!! WHOO HOO!!!!
nox barely passed, so obvisouly my egr valve needs to be replaced or cleaned... but my brand spankin new cat sure did the trick for my HC! only cost me 80 for the cat and two flanges!!!!

Nice! You didn't pull the EGR valve at all? I have to do the same to my Supra soon, and I'm not looking forward to it at all... 
i REALLY didnt want to... and i figured i get a free re-test anyways, and nox was never my problem, so i said lets go for it! i only had 5miles on my new cat when i passed... so im very pleased.
the new owner is coming back monday with $1800 cash to take it away, and then i get to register and smog my 90 turbo!
