Getting through the emissions test

[michaelc291]

Im glad you figured this out and could put it behind you. Yes a lot was learned and next issue you have a better idea on how it works so resolving it will be easier.

Study hard for your test!!! :-/


Wish i could tell why your pic doesn't load? Are you on the web page or an app? I-phone or android?

TODAY IS THE DAY IT PASSED ITS TEST, FINALLY.

It took a lot of getting there with a lot of false starts on the way. The printout on the emissions test said 0% CO and 1.007% Lambda. They seemed very happy with that.
The biggest lesson learnt is that a catalyst does not last forever. I totally missed that one and changed virtually everything else, probably unnecessarily.
I still have to find out why the ECU is not energising the aux. fan relay. I now have a manual switch. Any suggestions on that would be welcome.

Re the missing pictures. I am on Windows on the website on a laptop. It used to work, then something changed.

Thanks everybody for all the suggestions. Your help is appreciated. I shall be raising a glass of vino later.
Best regards from Spain. Mike

The next project may be the water pump on the Sebring 2.7 convertible. It's loosing a bit of coolant and they are known to leak and/or dump all the water into the oil. Some fool decided to bury the pump in the middle of the engine and drive it with the timing chain. I would have him shot for that. Didn't know this when I bought it.

Wow. The water pump is run off the timing chain? Thats crazy

Here is a link to a Cloyes Video showing you how to replace the chains. Yes, there are three of them!!!!

The water pump sprocket is the one bang in the middle above the crank. So if it leaks, which water pumps do, the coolant goes into the oil.

I would not wish this on my worst enemy.

the gage works off a different sensor, if i remember right. i think its sensor is at the back of the head, top on the usa driver side. the sensor for the fan is located in the radiator or thermostat housing, i just cannot remember which. edit: google seems to say the fan sensor is the one in the thermostat housing
