Unhappy Please Help Me Pass Emissions

I recently went for inspection here in New Jersey and failed for emissions. I don't have the printout with me, but I believe I passed the NOx but failed for High Carbons and one other thing (not sure). I don't want to get ripped off so can someone set me in the right direction. The car runs great and I just did a tune-up (plugs, wires, rotor, fuel filter, air filter, etc.), though I did notice a little oil on one pair of the plugs. I also do regular oil changes using castrol syntech. I also use high octane fuel (92). I know nothing about the O2 sensor but a mechanic I stopped at on the way home said something about maybe getting too much air in the mixture? I don't think its the charcoal cannister, as I don't smell fuel in the interior. The mechanic I saw said it may cost about $250.00 (ballpark figure), plus 75 for the re-inspection fee. Can anyone help me. PLEASE!

Sincerely,

James

Wink

If you can get the info (#'s) off the 'failed' report, I can steer you to what is wrong. I manage a smog shop here in So. Cal. (the most anal smog control co. in the world)

If the smog tech doesn't notice (or care) that the EGR is missing.....

You should have a pre-test done to see where your at. Make sure they don't send the info into the state !!!
You don't want to go get tested 'blind', then be so far over that you become a "Gross Polluter".

With out the EGR (or plugged passages), the NOx will probably be too high. If your cat is working, and NOx is the only failure part of the test, and its only about 100 or so PPMs over the limit, you can retard the timing back to 5*, or 0* for the test. This will lower the NOx.
The CO% and HCs must already measure low.

This is why for smog test areas, I recommend leaving the EGR alone. If your engine is working properly, it won't hinder power. If you just must 'clean up the engine bay', then save all the parts to put back on for the test. If you just 'can't stand egr', then you can just pull the vacuum line on the valve and stick a golf tee in the hose.
