Markie Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hi all, This evening I finished doing some jobs to the soop to try again and get the damn thing passed the emmissions.. Fitted new LAMBDA/O2 Sensor - Thanks CW it came today.. Hopefully its sealed properly and wired in correctly Added some fuel injector etc cleaner to try and cut down a bit more on emissions and help fuel econ. Also still have 1st CAT in and added in the Greedy TI Exhaust silencer thingy in to try and help make the end of the exhaust alo narrower to help... Took it for a run. Seemed to run fine. She always seems to idle quite low on rev mind, under 1000. So, you guys think this should help? Hopefully will get some better results. If not, I will need someone off here to have a good look at her and fix the thing. Hopefully, she is not running really rich anymore either.. *Fingers Crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markie Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Bit of good news, but of bad. The good news is that the emissions went from 9% down to 0.6%. Limit is 0.3%. B*st*rd still failed me, wants me to go back again on Friday. He did not even try and really heat the CAT up at all, I think he is just after some easy cash. I still had half a tank of fuel with some additives to clean the system etc, so I am going to run all of that through and full up with some fuel and I think it will then pass.. *Fingers crossed* However, chuffed it has dropped SO MUCH! Must of been that new TRD oil cap I fitted yesterday Nahh, looks like it was the O2 sensor totally nacked. Thanks for all your help and input guys.. Just hope after working through this cleaner it will be sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I have found Forte fuel additive superb, both their petrol and diesel engine additives. It's hard to find though... Glad my O2 sensor made such a big difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 You have got to heat up the cats, and get him to test it quickly after while they are warm, otherwise you're wasting your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
