Re: Failing Emission Help
NOx is greatly influenced by the EGR valve. The EGR valve is controlled by a solenoid that allows or blocks vacuum to the valve. You might want to check out the connections at the solenoid.
High combustion chamber temps cause high NOx readings. By recirculating inert exhaust gas (EGR) into the air/fuel mixture, the combustion chamber temps drop.
