check egr system,make sure vacuum reaches egr valve when is supposed to
no Yes since it will not only fail the visual Nox emissions will be too high anyway and will fail the test. Most Ford Rangers have three convertors. One pre-convertor on each bank and then the main on shared by both. It's almost old enough to be exempt, I think it has to bee 25 years but check for your state, maybe it's less.
Bad EGR, Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve. That is what reduces NoX emissions
To address high nitrogen oxides (NOx) levels on a 1993 Cadillac Sedan DeVille, you should first check and potentially replace the catalytic converter, as it plays a crucial role in reducing NOx emissions. Additionally, inspect the oxygen sensors and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve, as these components can also affect emissions. Ensuring that the engine is running efficiently, including checking for any vacuum leaks or issues with the fuel system, can further help in resolving the emissions problem.
i would like to know the answer, as I'm buying a 93 Lexus that has failed on the NOX ANY IDEA?......
Nox is The abbreviation of Oxide(s) of Nitrogen. These are only produced at high burn temperature's. In a modern engine excess Nox emissions can be caused by a lean fuel mixture caused by a failed O2 sensor(s) Or A failed or pluged EGR valve
High NOx (nitrogen oxides) readings in a boiler are typically caused by high combustion temperatures, which promote the formation of these pollutants. Factors contributing to elevated temperatures include excessive air supply, improper burner adjustments, and fuel type. Additionally, poor mixing of fuel and air can lead to localized hot spots, further increasing NOx emissions. Implementing low-NOx burners and optimizing combustion conditions can help mitigate these emissions.
Petrol engines produce oxides of nitrogen (NOx) as a byproduct of combustion at high temperatures. Specifically, nitrogen in the air reacts with oxygen in the engine's combustion chamber to form NOx gases. Factors such as high compression ratios and combustion temperatures can contribute to increased NOx emissions from petrol engines.
High CO levels can increase the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) through reactions with nitrogen in the atmosphere. This leads to increased NOx levels in the air. However, if CO concentrations are high enough, the combustion process in engines can be inefficient, leading to incomplete combustion and higher CO emissions.
A bad EGR valve would be the first place to look, because the EGR was invented to kill NOx. Improper engine timing, a lean air fuel mixture, and problems with the cooling system can also increase NOx.
nox is from exhaust temps too high or a cat. convertor breakdown.
Several things can cause high NOx: lean mixture, bad 02 sensor,exhaust leaks before the catalyst, a defective catalyst, high engine compression (carbon buildup), are among the most common.
