Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! well after I ran through an entire tank of gas the problem has since gone away. I would only assume thats the alky was sitting in all the low spots in my fuel system, around the pump, fuel filter, and so on, and I managed to flush it all out slowly. The truck is...

Re: Whats up with towing Its stated in the owners manual that it can cause driveline failure because of the clutches in the transfer case not being made to handle such a thing, I would say thats a very possible problem as well.

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! Its all entirely stock, Im 99.9% sure of it. The guy I bought it off of was a real stickler about that stuff, paying the stealership out the ass for service, even paid the dealership $800 for a new ECU when they told him his went bad a couple years back, I have...

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! Well the knock isnt terrible, Im pretty sure I can hear it though. Ive always read about what it sounds like to people that have problems with it on both buick and SYTY boards, and to them its like a tin can full of BBs quietly rattling under the hood, or other...

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! Well I did the cap and rotor and put UR5s gapped to a tight 35 in there since you obviously know your stuff. It runs better, but still needs some tuning as far as fuel pressure, what should the static fuel pressure be? its at about 35psi with the vacuum line on...

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! I didnt unplug anything or change anything, went as is, with alky in the tank and I passed. As far as plugs go, Im running UR5s right now, it had CR44TS plugs in it when I bought it, The CR44s are a hot plug if Im not mistaken, I run CR43s in the buick, and the...

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! OK, I passed today, but it was close. CO was 0.0 and HCs were 215, 220 would have failed. I didnt do anything to it but dump a gallon of Denatured Alcohol in the tank with about 5 gallons of 91. BUT, after that, the truck stumbles a bit more at idle and seems to...

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! Well he figured out something that made some sense, It has clean emmisions under load and at idle, but high HC's on deceleration. He plugged the vacuum line on the EGR valve and it cleared up right away, so its looking like the EGR valve is getting stuck open...

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! Well Nick is a buddy of mine, He actually sold me the GN I currently own. Im happy with it as is, its fast and gets good gas mileage, and still runs pump gas, so its still semi dependable as a daily driver. The truck on the other hand, I dont think will ever be...

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! Well I run denatured alky in the Buick for emissions, but thats it, I dont have to do anything else to it besides put the cat back on and put in my stock chip, and it flies through, injectors, fuel pressure and all. I showed up at Nick Micales house with it and...

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! So I dropped it off at the mechanic yesterday (tuesday) and got a call this morning that after they drive it really hard for about 20 minutes they put it on the smog machine and it blew clean as a whistle. I know this guy pretty well, and he takes payment from...

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! well I took it to my mechanic, as odd as that is that a mechanic has a mechanic, to see what he thought, he looked at the sheet and said right away, "you have a miss-fire somewhere, looks like you tested on five cylinders". I have noticed it sounds sometimes at...

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! 1000 miles on UR6s and new cap, rotor, plug wires. It stumbled alot when I bought it, all the above parts brought it to life and made it run like a raped ape. I just have never seen CO pass and HC be that far off from passing, usually hand in hand balance, one...

Needed to renew some things since it has not sold as of yet, and thought it would fly right through, since its almost completely stock. Hydrocarbons allowed (220) Mine were (962) FAIL! Carbon Monoxide Allowed (1.20) Mine were (1.12) PASS! Thats pretty much all they check in AZ, other than the...

Re: what the heck? i actually have those fans on my 87 GN. its a common upgrade for them since it fits in there better than factory, and 3 years later still working great. HOWEVER, i only paid 79.99 from ramchargers, so that auction might not be such a great deal.
