GOT2B GM Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I NEED this thing to pass, its sale is depending on it. New plugs, wires, o2 sensor, coolant temp sensor, catylitic convertor, fuel filter, 180 stat. Swapped EGR for another one. Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismellrealbad Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 NOx is formed at combustion temps over 2500*....My first guess would be the EGR. Maybe u still just need a brand new one. Or try letting the thing sit there and cool down then go thru the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Well it could be that maybe the EGR ports in the manifold are somewhat blocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 quite possibly, its at the shop right now for getting certified tomorrow....Im having them look at it..... But keep your ideas coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yeah, high combustion temps or running and running lean. How are the injectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 original to the best of my knowledge... Thanks for the suggestions guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 O2 sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 New plugs, wires, o2 sensor, coolant temp sensor, catylitic convertor, fuel filter, 180 stat. New AC delco O2 I had it at the shop and they told me my alternator was dying. So I went over to Ryan's (ihateallmustangs) place and swapped it out with an almost new one. It runs much better. Hoping that maybe the computer / sensors / fuel pump / ICM-coils just may not have been getting enough power to work efficiently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOT2B GM Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 yup delivered it today, the vert is officially gone, ended up taking $3900 for it. Not bad for a 3.1 vert needing paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olds cutlass Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Altenators will cause all kinds of wierd problems. Last year I got in the car one morning and the thing would not move. All four brakes were locked, ABS light on, Check Engine Service light on. I thought the ABS was screwed up. I never knew that the ABS and the master cylinder could lock the brakes without the pedal being pressed. After an hour of messing with it I noticed the alternator light came on. I checked it and its pumping out about 16 volts to 17 volts. The regulator had gone bad and the extra voltage was screwing the computer up. The guy at the altenator shop said that he'd seen them mess up the whole system before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
