its possible that th O2 sensor is bad, i think a bad PCV can affect it too… i’m also pretty sure a higher octane gas will burn cleaner… your MAF could be going to… your EGR vavle could be messed up to, but i’m not sure how much that affects emissions… correct me if i’m wrong

I guess! Ill do the o2 tho as well, its only 35 bucks. and then put like 2 bottles of gas line antifreeze in the tank on a 1/4 to make sure it passes!

try putting tko 2000 on a half tank of gas. when the tank is done put 94 octane in take her for a rip and get a e test make sure the cat is nice and warm
