Need help getting 1991 back in operation
History:
Original owner, un-modified 1991 with 85k miles - been stored for last 10 years. Trying to get it back on the road. Issue: Failing smog test for nitrous oxides [697 ppm vs max 545 ppm at 15 mph. OK, but only just at 25 mph] - CO percentage is twice the max at both speeds and hydrocarbons [103 ppm vs 78 max at 15mph, again just OK at 25 mph] I sense a very slight occasional surging around 2000+ rpm cycling at around 50 Hz. Don't get anything unusual on the tech 1 using snapshot. Recent maintenance: New fuel pumps & filter New plugs Repaired vacuum line that was disconnected New fuel injectors No codes Diagnostic Circuit Check with Tech 1 All items in range except: Blk Learn Enable has value YES and should be NO Spark advance is 11 degrees and should be 0 degrees Checked fuel pump operation: Intial pressure peaks at 58psi and immediately drops to a steady 50 psi and holds. [I assume this means the pump is generating plenty pressure and the regulator valve is also working] At idle get around 45-46 psi. [I think it's supposed to drop 3-5 psi but not certain] To do's: Check spark Check A.I.R. Replace O2 sensors - maybe? Any suggestions? [Other than CA smog test sucks ] Appreciate any help. Cheers, Don MacLennan |
