Well I go up there and turns out they didnt even inspect it..I dunno if they forgot or what. : So they ran it this morning and it failed : High Speed 25 mph 1685 rpm : HC(PPM) standard is 120 it did 135 : NOx(PPM) standard is 848 it did 2770 : Low Speed 15 mph 1429 rpm : HC(PPM) standard is 124 it did 219 : NOx(PPM) standard is 937 it did 2512 : They suggested EGR and a bad cat. The cat is about 2 yrs old it's a Carsound from WSP. I cleaned that EGR back in June and put it on the auto and it passed. : Would it be bad this quick? Also could the cat really be bad (or I guess just doesnt perform 'street legal' like it's supposed to)? : I guess I'm just gonna bite the bullet and buy a new EGR because I dont want to have to rig it every year to pass, but if I have to buy a cat too then that just sucks. :) : Opinions?
