Subject:Failed NOx emission test
From:Tom Miller
Date:Fri, 30 Jan 2004 13:05:42 -0500

Well, my 89 Westy failed the nitrogen oxide emissions.  Over 30% higher than
allowed.  I was told that is typically caused by a stuck EGR valve but these
vehicles don't have one!  High NOx is caused by very high combustion temps.
Should I back off a little on the timing and run premium gas for the next
test or what?  It is all stock now.
Thanks!
Tom Miller
