bighause Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 My truck failed an emissions test the other day because of high Nox so I am looking into the EGR system. I replaced the vac hoses and tested the EGR valve by applying vacuum directly to it and it moves properly. Were can I find a good diagram for the vac lines to verify if mine are right? Is there anything else I should be checking that could cause high Nox? The Jeep was overheating during the test, can that cause high Nox? I'm replacing the radiator next week since it recently started leaking slightly and hopefully that will fix the heat issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 For a 4.0 L For a 2.5 I've heard that it's entirely possible to delete the EGR altogether, but I don't know how and/or if it's legal where you live. I failed miserably 5 years ago and so I'm really anal about it. Frankly I don't know what causes NoX, HC or CO getting out of whack, so I just make sure everything is clean and tight. I know it's probably unnecessary but my checklist for smogging my XJ every 2 years is: Change oil Plugs, wires, rotor, regular tune-up New O2 sensor, yep, every 2 years. $50 worth of insurance. NEW gas cap. Check and replace (not duct tape) any suspicious vac lines. ...and a can of G2P...follow instructions on container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighause Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 That is perfect, thanks for the help. It looks like the lines are hooked up properly. The EGR tube isn't opening like it should. It only opens under acceleration if I bypass the EGR solenoid, does that mean that the solenoid is bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbrick Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Move to a state where they don't care. One of the few reasons I love Michigan. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
