I believe when your car is too hot it raises your nox levels

Re: Failed emissions PLEASE HELP!

well, high HC is from not burning the air/fuel completely and high NOX is from high combustion temps or pressure.

is the PCM pulling timing at all?

Do a search on "denatured alcohol" on this site, it might help.

Re: Failed emissions PLEASE HELP!

I recently failed emissions too!
Even after I went through the trouble of getting a new highflow cat installed after my longtubes and a Y-pipe. I got a bottle of some "Guarnteed to Pass" stuff to run thru the tank. Came back put it on the rollers and passed with flying colors. Oh, I forgot to mention.... this time around I opened my electronic cutout. :-D not too many HC's or NOX commin out the flowmaster after that.

I ran that emissions stuff to make it look like I made an effort to help. Also check your air filter... it might be time for a recharge if ya have a K&N.

good luck
