My daughters 1995 Jeep Cherokee Country came back with a failing grade from emissions.

Emissions for NOX were 3.32 (3.0 allowed) ...close
Equipment inspection came back with EVAP COMPONENTS - Hoses FAILED

The helpful folks at emissions... (We know whats wrong but can't tell you because someone might sue us if were wrong ...so lets play twenty questions) said it has something to do with faulty or leaking hoses..perhaps from the charcoal canister. They even provided an illustration of (looks like fred flinstones car) a oversimplified EVAP System.

My initial thought (after I check all the hose connections) is the egr valve.

Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated...ask any teenager who has their dad working on their ride.

Thanks...
