fargo_182 Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 well to get my car on the road I need the e-test and safety inspection, passed safety and am working on the e-test right now I took it the first time Failed! got new Cat conv. on her it made the HC and CO pass but the NOx failed The etest guy said that he isamost positive its the EGR valve, because its burning too hot or something? So I have a new (used but new to me)egr from my cousin, Him and his friend put a 3.1 EGR on the lumina and it passed etest, so...are they the samething? The e-test guy told me that a shop could keep the egr held wide open with a paperclip so it would pass and it has worked for their cars. Does anyone have any tips to get me through this dilemma, The car took all of my money to get it this far and i am only allowed three etests, then i do not know what happens? That sur pass and additives liek that do they really work or what? Any help is appreciated Fargo: btw its a 93 lumina z34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slade901 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 When you replaced the EGR, make sure you cleaned the EGR pipe/hole going to the intake side and the pipe/hole from the exhaust side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
