Hey everyone, just joined this community today after buying my first Toyota yesterday. Picked up a beater FJ60 and am getting ready to get things in order with it. Previous owner tried smogging it before selling but it failed due to NOx being 202 ppm too high. Smog tech told him its probably a problem with the EGR system. At first looks I see the vacuum system needs to be gone through. Two hoses are plugged with bolts and I see the parts they're supposed to go to. Maybe someone can fill me in on what these parts are before I dig into the manuals. I attached an image of said plugged hoses circled in red and arrows pointing to the two parts in question.
I haven't began to troubleshoot the EGR system yet. I thought I might first ask you guys what you'd suspect the issue might be based on the smog results which I am attaching as well.
The area in California that I reside doesn't require smog tests after the first one when purchasing a car so I don't really need any type of permanent fix, I just need to pass the test once to keep this thing street legal for the rest of it's days. Let me know if you guys have any ideas for me!
