Well my cars been sitting for the past 2 years, hasnt moved, no power steering, brake problems, amound other things. Right now I've fixed the majority of the problems but where I live you need an emmisions test to get it on the road.
I did a basic tuneup... plugs/wires/cap/rotor/airfilter/fuelfilter, fixed a major hole in flexpipe. Anyway after all this didnt seem to run very well, as you drive, rpms go up but didnt seem to pull at all like my old one.
So I went to etest it, failed miserable, co = above limit, hc=above limit, and nox= 3 times the limit(limit is 500, mine was 1500).
Anyways I shook the catalytic around and sounded kindof weird, took it off and it was fallen apart, so I replaced that. As well, I checked the timing it was at 6degrees, brought it to 10. Took it for a road test and there was plent of power to be had.
So went back to etest, co limit is .40 i had 0.02 so passed there
hc limit is 72 I got 92, still an approvment but failed.
Nox was 3500, over double from before replacing the cat.
So I've figured that a low co and high nox means lean condition, I think one of the injectors is ticking, ran some injector cleaner through, but I might take em out and have a look, as well going to check for vacum or intake leaks.
Is there anything anyone can think of to check as well?.. I'm close to giving up on this thing so it would be nice to get it going finally.
Thanks,
