failed emission high NOx
My 89 Toyota pickup recently failed emission test for high NOx (1483
std reading 2954). I checked out the egr system as per the service manual and didn't find anything wrong.. I changed plugs, cap, rotor, wires, pcv, air filter about 20K miles ago and the truck rund fine. I did however have to wait over an hour in the line and had the engine shut off. By the time I got to the emissions test, the engine was pretty cold. Could this have caused this? Thanks for comments. |

Lean air/fuel ratio-too little CO and/or too much O2. 4. Defective reduction portion of converter. 5. Compression too high due to combustion chamber deposits. 6. Cylinder imbalance due to intake valve deposits or plugged injectors. 7. Overheating (general or localized). 8. Excessive oxygen in the exhaust from a leak or AIR problem. 9. Defective heated intake, EFE system or heat riser. 10 Jumped valve timing. 11. Wrong spark plug heat range or overheated plugs from improper seating. 12 Burning oil. 13 Vacuum leak. |

Yes. Catalytic converters don't work when they are cold.

i have heard of people failing the emissions test with a cold engine,
say 1st thing in the morning, then they went back later in the day and passed with a hot engine. |

I have heard using washer fluid in your breather filter will lower the
NOX. They put washer fluid on there filter just before going into get it checked, apparently this reduces NOX by a few points. |

You've received one correct reply so far. Here's another. Of all the emissions gasses that would fail due to a cold engine, NOx is not one of them. You need to fix your plugged EGR passage, shorted EGR temp sensor, loose or cracked hose(s), too advanced ign timing, failed EGR VSV, or lean running condition FIRST, then reevaluate for other problems that need to be diagnosed AFTER all mechanical systems are working properly.

That would be the one about spraying washer fluid on your filter, Right? Speaking of spray-on applications - Did the guy selling the 'new product to save gas" for 9.99 really say to spray it on the gas pump? > hi. this is a new porduct, we just spray the lique on the gas pump > when we pump our gas into the car.

Yes, of course! The poster said "They put washer fluid on there filter just before going into get it checked, apparently this reduces NOX by a few points." With 3 'points' out of the way, it should be cake to reduce the next 1468 points simply using proper diagnostic and repair methods. Toyota MDT in MO |

With a premium washer fluid you should be able to get seven or eight points. -- Angry American flags attack Hillary Clinton! |
