CA smog failures. I need R3Vs help.

[tightithrash]

Ok guys 3 more fails and I'm still lost.

So far I now have
-new cat
-new plug wires
-new plugs
-new oriellys o2 sensor

My good friends who is a respected tuner recently tuned my car and it runs better than ever. We used a sniffer to check and adjust the car to what was coming out of the exhaust.

I changed the o2 sensor 2 nights ago and the plugs and failed again today

We put the smog sniffer in the valve cover and it was sniffing tons of fuel in my oil. Problem is I changed my oil like 2 weeks ago.

What can I do now? There is no PVC valve so what should I do now?

Is the failure still high NOX? That would be the engine running lean or a bad catalytic converter. Have you had a smoke test run?

dude why the fck do you have no PCV valve OP? You need that. Put it back on. You should have failed visual as well with no PCV.

E30's don't have a typical pcv system with a valve...

Cat is only a few months old.

I should do a smoke test.

Dude I took the PVC valve and taped it on the fender.

The only valve that you could have taped to the fender would be the evaporative control valve. The crank case vent on this car is a simple hose from the throttle body to the valve cover.

Get the smoke test done (and fix the leaks) and then have someone with a wide band O2 sensor measure the AFR at idle and up. It should be right at 14:1.

I was joking about the PVC valve tape job.

Ok. I will have this done. Thank you.

Did you fix it?
