Update-
So I got the evap leak problem solved. Turns out there was a leak on the top of the fuel tank, which I dropped and repaired, so thats done.
Contacted the referral Jesus to handle the high NOX problem. Really nice guy, but not the guy who i though would actually be doing the work or diagnosis. He put me in contact with his next door neighbor there at the garage area. Guy named "Hammer".
Hammer took a looksy around and pulled vacuum on some of the lines & did some futzing with EGR hoses and such. Told me it would pass now.
He was so confident...He "Guaranteed" it, actually. Although he 's got the testing machine there...the vehicle never got hooked up to check any results. I had to go spend another 50+ Bucks to have it tested just to see where things were at.
Ran it though @ star testing place, but to no avail the NoX did not make it. It was close, just slightly over the limit but not there.
Hammer was able to bring it down by over 50%!!.. I returned to the garage to show Hammer the testing results of the emissions test.
He said I should a wait couple of days to do any retesting and to return on the coming saturday for him to look at it again. Well I returned on saturday as requested & waited & waited & waited just around 3 hours until he said after quickly checking the timing, he couldn't do no more.
So needless to say, I'm back to the drawing board in pursuit of getting this vehicle to pass. Are there anymore leads?...from anybody?
