Unhappy 86 camry emissions fail due to high NOx

This car runs great but the NOx levels are way over the roof. I was wondering what should I do to fix this issue. I installed a new CAT and exhaust system is new too. What are my options. Would really appreciate help.

thanks,
Kenny

Re: 86 camry emissions fail due to high NOx

It's very likely your EGR. Take the EGR valve off with the pipe and all hoses. You will see a lot of carbon deposits and probably clogging the pipe/hoses. Clean them up, you should be good to go.

Try the stickies at the top of the Camry forum. If not, check out Autozone's website for removal/installation instructions for your year.
