Yes it does and the code that was given to me for that was P400 and p1491
Yes, it can if faulty or missing.
That will cause you to fail an emissions inspection. Anything which triggers the CEL will, because everything which triggers it will adversely impact the emissions system on that vehicle.
Yes!
Most are vac operated so simply plugging that but it is more likely to backfire and will fail emissions if you do.
Problems with the oxygen sensors are quite likely to cause emissions test problems. The car computer cannot properly adjust the air/fuel mixture to regulate the emissions.
Yes, along with dozens of other things.
If there are no other problems and the vehicle is failing the NOX emissions test, it's probably running too lean. Check the EGR valve, fuel pressure and the Oxygen sensor.
If its shorting or open, then YES
It depends on where you live. If you live in a state that requires smog tests, yes, it will cause the vehicle to fail. The test includes verification of the status of the emissions diagnostic codes. In other words, if your car throws a code it won't pass.
No, the only thing a dirty PCV valve will cause is a build-up of gas pressure inside the engine which make seals and gaskets fail.
if clogged it can cause excessive crankcase pressure create engine oil leaks,saturate oil with combustion fumes (dilute oil) cause idle problems or buzz like crazy at idle. also it can make you fail emissions test at mv inspection
Yes if it is emissions related.
