right after muchos cash and days in the garage the only thing left that wont pass the mot is my emissions!
took off the magnex de-cat system and k+n so its all back to standard(cat and all)
its reading far too high on the co2 and the lamda is just out
fast idle co2 is 2.38%(needs to be 0.3% :oops: )
" lambda 0.94(needs to get to 0.97
this was with the air filter on.
now it reads
fast idle co2 is 1.56%
" lambda 0.95
better but still a long way to go.
they said because the cat has been sitting in my garage for 8 months+ that it could have collected moisture so giving it a hard drive and heating it through just "may" fix the problem so i;m doing that later but if it doesn't what will???
will cost about ?60 to get it on a diagnostic machine but bear in mind that i've spent hundreds already and once its passed the de-cat system and exhaust will be back on so really dont want to spend much more :cry:
please help...loosing the will to keep the nova which is a depressing thought :|
