I own a 1999 Contour SE, ATX, 2.5L v6 DOHC Duretec... what else.. 173,000 miles, last tune up was probably over 2 years ago, not sure, previous owner didnt tell me, i didnt ask. was free car .
I've been trying to get this thing smogged for 6 days now, failed over 5 test. each worst than the last. but now my biggest problem is NO(PPM) levels are way to high for both speeds. im considered a "gross polluter" rawr. Ive replaced the egr, and the pcv. cleaned the maf and put a new air filter. ive replaced a few hoses because of leaks. but im still getting high levels. yesterday i found that the vaccum hose coming from the egr isnt sucking when u press the throttle. the actual hose isnt clogged, because i disconnected it from the selenoid and i still get sucktion. now my question is, is the selenoid bad? ive replaced that too, and right away got the car smogged, no less the 2 mins after installing it. but i still failed, for the NO levels. so if it isnt the selenoid, and the vaccum isnt sucking, egr has no leaks, wut the hay man? any suggestions? i have two codes, p1151 and p1131, heated o2s reading too lean, bank one and two. ive replaced them both, and after that the car read so much better in the other test. would it take a whole day or more for the selenoid to work? its just electrical. i thought that it would suck right away. if anyone has any suggestions, it would help a lot. i was due on smog yesterday. oh, yea, car is still failing only from the NO levels, nitrous oxide. the o2 sensors only helped in the other fields, just wanted to clarify that.
