Re: Passing Emissions.

Are you saying no matter how much I drive it won't do anything? I'm starting to believe you because I've driven over 1000 miles already lol.

I'll start looking for new 02 sensors... but what about evap?? that wouldn't be effected by it right?

Re: Passing Emissions.

Okay I see but I honestly don't want to spend another 200 dollars on oxygen sensors :(. Since the catalytic converter and o2 sensor are connected how can I get the evap to read READY? I have 3 not ready and only need 1 more to be ready to pass emissions. Im going to take off the battery cables today ...

Re: Passing Emissions.

Ok, I found the box and it says "NTK Oxygen Sensors" Part number 24521.

Can someone explain the different types of sensors in a car? My dad said he replaced 2 of them.

Re: Passing Emissions.

Well... when i mean i have 4 registration tickets I mean that I've been pulled over 4 times and gotten a ticket. Well i've been pulled over more than that but have had mercy a couple times.

Passing Emissions.

Hello everyone, I have a volvo 850, year 1996, GLT. My plates have been expired sense January and I tell you this car has been such a burden to me. Don't get me wrong, volvo 850's are great but driving without plates sucks.

850 1996 car won't start

I noticed before it wouldn't start that it would take a long time to start.. not like i would have to turn the key but it would take longer than usual to get the car running. Now the car won't start at all. You turn the key and there is no clicking or sounds at all.
