I appreciate all of the information. Sitting and idling and even off idle it runs great. I was in a similar situation, mine sat for almost 5 years waiting on me to get time to do an engine swap, long story short, I did it last year, did have some issues getting it to pass inspection and remarkably, it did quite well last year. I'm going to go through all of the vacuum lines and see if there's an issue there and replace likely most of it, but, am going to replace the EGR valve and O2 sensor in the process.

Well second test, failed again. I'm starting to lean toward the egr valve. I am going to replace all of the vacuum lines to the EGR and test it. The guy that ran the test said something about the cat, but, its only a few years old and doesn't have 10k miles on it. Numbers dropped after repairing the inlet tube, but, not nearly enough for it to pass. Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

I wrapped the thing in MULTIPLE layers of electrical tape. There was an immediate difference in the smell of the exhaust gas, it had almost no odor compared to before.. I changed the oil and air filter just for the halibut and on hopefully tomorrow the party gets its last proctology exam. Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

Look familiar? Does anyone know where I can get the clips for the air filter box? Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

Well, let me make a correction. I found the print out and I was mistaken, its not the high speed that it failed at, it was low speed. The numbers are as follows: HC - standard 147 - reading was 162 N0x - standard 990 - reading 2666 The high speed was just fine. There was only 100 rpm difference in the high speed and low speed and 10 mph... Well? Any clues.. Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

Took a quick look at the intake tube, it appears to be ok, will check with the old WD40 test later. The maf sensor had very little debris in it, I will clean it out tonight. What I did notice was a broken wire at the distributor. It is the single wire that connects to the side of the distributor right next to the cap. I know its a ground, but, any thought if this may be a little bit of the issue? What's the best way to set the base timing on the vg30e? If there's a thread, kindly point me to the at direction. Thanks for the assistance. Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

I can provide the numbers, at some point, like when I find the paperwork :-/ not gonna hold my breath though. I'm going to check the MAF sensor and the maf-to-tb intake tube for issues. Last year it passed without too many issues other than egr issue, which eventually got corrected. Just thankful for the last year of this BS testing! Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

Actually have two issues, most important, the emmisions testing. On the dyno the high speed 02 and n0x are off the charts. The standard is 190 ppm and my pathy is running 2999 ppm. I purchased a new air filter, plan on changing the oil as well as the temp sensor. I'm not sure if that will correct the problem, but, gonna give it a shot. Problem 2, it takes 3-4 cranks before it fires up, this is a new issue that started about 2-3 weeks ago. Didnt have an issue with it up until this time. Did have a "stumbling" problem for a short while when it was cold out, that went away when it started to warm up, outside. Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

Check the ecu under the passenger seat for codes. Could be any number of things. Have you had any overheating issues? Was there any warning? Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

Id have to agree with you there. Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

Id say try heat. If its adhesive, that should free it without damaging the panel. Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

Ah ok, the threaded brackets on the inside of the corner of the panel. That's a tough on. If I had to guess, they are likely bonded to the panel, I doubt there welded. Likely some type of permanent epoxy. Are you trying to save the panel or just get the brackets? Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

The bracket? Are you referring to The latch or hinges? Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

There are two bolts in the cap itself and one bolt that retains the distributor on the drivers side cylinder head. Undo the two in the cap, there should be enough slack in the spark plug wires to just lay the cap on the upper intake plenum. Use a permanent marker, mark rotor position and distributor position at the base. Then proceed like I mentioned before. Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

Just unbolt the distributor and pull it up enough to get the bolt started. Remove the cap, mark the rotor position as well as distributor position, unbolt it and you should be able to pick it up about an inch or so. It should be enough to get the bolt back in. Dont sweat it, just be sure it makes it back into the same position.. Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

One of the issues could be a shorted idle air control valve. Unplug it, replace the fuse, try and start it and see if it blows. Are there any stored codes in the ecm? I'd start at the IAC valve and go from there. Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk
