w00t

Just passed emissions with flying colors. All it needed was a new o2 sensor, new plugs, and I'm sure that other stuff didn't hurt (that weird additive we got).

Interesting idea. Perhaps the EGR just needs to be cleaned.

BTW, have you regretted getting the VX yet? Do you miss the del sol at all?

I think anything within +/- 10 is within acceptable variance.

You're right about the spark plug wires and distributor cap. I might replace those on my wife's car too just for the hell of it.

The only results was a broken 3 inch extension bar.

Here's a though... why not just drive it around a bit and THEN try to remove it? Both the exhaust manifold and hte o2 sensor will be hot... as long as I don't touch it (or anything) I should be okay...

Thanks for the info Gary. I'll do that tonight. I'm sure just adding the extra coolant helped a lot. Any time the overfill tank is empty something is bad.

I also put new NGK plugs in last night.

Man... I thought there wasn't any room under the hood of my 89 Civic... the 87 CRX actually has LESS room to work than my n600.

Thanks Gary. As soon as my wife gets home I'm going to check her radiator level... well, the car cools down at least. I also bought some NGK spark plugs for it a few minutes ago.

Once again, no EGR Valve on this car.

I'm assuming the t-stat is fine, but I have no plans on replacing it unless it's stuck open or shut. Both rad hoses heat up, so I'm assuming it's fine.

No smoke.

Just checked parts sites and the 87 CRX Si doesn't have an EGR.

Just a bit of info I didn't mention before. The PGMFI light would come on every once in a while. I checked the code...

I'm unsure if they had EGR valves in 87. Since my 89 doesn't have one I think they didn't have EGR valves. I'll double check though.

I was actually just thinking about that. I might do it if the next plan fails.

High NOx apparently means it's running lean, which is also shown by it always overheating. Perhaps the new O2...
