Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
Shes going. My car wont pass echeck. 280k+ and i think i have to put her down. I've tried 3 times to get her to pass but its not working. I cleaned all the emissions crap and checked almost everything i can think of. The cat cant be bad because it was replaced before i bought the car and it passed then. Maybe its time to get something else. I dont want an economical car. I like my gas guzzling tank. I would keep trying but i dont think there is a point to keep putting money into her.

Re: Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
I am stuck on a do it yourself attitude, but when it comes to emmission tests I found ou t the hard way that it was cheaper to take it to the good old emmision clinics. But I would no be to quick to assume it is not your caoverters

Re: Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
Well i would tinker around with it but the car is old and i live in the snow belt (N.E. Ohio) so it is already falling apart. I can ride on two 30 day tags to get me through winter but im prob going to need a new car.

Can you get a print out of your readings and post them here? Maybe we could help you narrow it down to what the cause is.
I was running a '82 Caprice wagon from 1990-1995. It passed emissions until I burnt a valve coming back from Fla. It had a '76 350 in it, NO emissions equipment, no CAT, no computer. I made up a whole bunch of dummy NY state 10-day inspection stickers for it, ran it for about 18 months that way. Bob
