Re: 93 Jeep Wrangler - 57K miles - fails CA smog
I only went to the test-only station. The tech there said the other repair shop did not repair anything that would fix this except a new cat will normally get this to pass. I've applied for the CA assitance for test-only vehicles. So I have to wait to take it in. I've been reading online and it very well could be my EGR valve is stuck or broken. Jim.

Re: 93 Jeep Wrangler - 57K miles - fails CA smog
If they really did replace your catalytic converter last time, then the EGR,
if you have one in that vehicle, is indeed a likely suspect. Earle <kaigoneq@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1169335152.479033.120370@a75g2000cwd.googlegr oups.com...
