Quick emissions question...
Did the 1994 Wrangler YJ 4.0L engine have an EGR system of any kind? I ask because I have one here that just failed its California smog test due to high NOx levels, which as I understand it is most commonly caused by an EGR failure, but I can't seem to find an EGR system anywhere on the engine. In fact I can't seem to find much of anything that can be tuned or repaired to help this situation other than changing out the catalytic converter, which I'm trying to avoid. The timing is supposedly unchangeable (so says the Jeep service manual), and every other part normally touched in an extensive tune up is brand new. New cooling system components, too. If it's true that there is no EGR system that can be checked, then I'm sort of left with the converter but I wanted to ask first to make sure I'm not overlooking something. Thanks! |

Exhaust Gas Recirculation is a part of the carburetor days, SMOG.
With your new cooling system you probably put too cold a thermostat in, it should at least 195 degrees, and for this test I'd put in a 210 for the computer to lean out the mixture. More than likely you need a new oxygen sensor. And you need a new catalytic converter. Then drive it for twenty minutes before the test so as the new catalytic converter will reach sixteen hundred degree to do it's job and chemically change pollutants like carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) into harmless substances like carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and water vapor (H2O): http://www.tifac.org.in/do/hgt/case/convert.htm God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ The Hurdy Gurdy Man wrote: > > Did the 1994 Wrangler YJ 4.0L engine have an EGR system of any kind?

no egr and iwould look at the pcv hoses for dryrot and the cat. converter
could be busted up inside hit it a few times with you hand and see if it rattles The Hurdy Gurdy Man wrote: > Did the 1994 Wrangler YJ 4.0L engine have an EGR system of any kind?

Re: Quick emissions question...
A lean mixture aggravates a NOx concern. What Bill says carries some
weight, but you are probably looking to fatten it up, not lean it out more. Vacuum leaks, bad O2, look for obvious things that are going to lean it out. A fresh cat will make it pass, but be sure that you aren't just masking the real problem, because it will fail again next year if you don't get to the root of it.
