Gary Usually high Nox is a sign of a bad catalytic convertor. If you have low compression then you are probably burning oil which will kill a new cat within a couple of months. Perhaps you should start a fund to pay for a rebuilt engine so that when two years rolls around you can fly right through emissions testing because you have a fresh motor (you probably wouldn't even need the cat to pass). Just my opinion.

I just had my van tested in the bay area after getting my registration renewal. It was clearly on the top of the renewal. GO TO A TEST ONLY CENTER more expensive these test only center and no fixing the problem there. It is the place vanagons visit here in california. To make a long story short I just squeaked buy on the nox and co. From what I understand we have no egr valve or exhaust recirculation to cool our combustion chambers. I have farly low compression so what gives on the high nox. Do I need to retard the encgine a bit when I go back in two years???? My hc level was good. Does anyone know if ron's cat. are good enough to help on nox. many thanks gary http://www.nichols.nu/tip766.htm __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
