98 S70 GLT Emission Headache

Post by inlineframe »

It's that time of the year that my lovely Volvo has to be violated by the Emission's office...

I was told that Catalyst is not ready, o2 sensor is not ready, Secondary Air system is not ready, and o2 heater is not ready. She looked at me like I was a felon and said I've done too many modifications to my car and it should be illegal to drive it! I laughed at her saying that she should look for another job thinking that this test means my car is modified...

But anyways, I've tried the driving cycle with no success and kept driving it until they turn into ready position. After 2 long weeks the only thing that turned to ready state was my secondary air system, and o2 heater... I have no idea whats wrong with my system but it sucks. I tried to make my evap fail but opening up my gas cap but NO CEL!!! What?! Yeah strange.. I have no idea what to do..

Any help from the community would score some brownie points :lol:
