Cross country trip, 300,000 miles today

[joe dirt]

On a cross country trip and hit 300,000 this morning! My beater 2000 Tacoma has been sledge hammer reliable. I purchased 13 years ago with 39k miles. Maybe time for the Tacoma to have its first wax job.She is a keeper.

Rolling with the the check engine light on. Nice. How did you get the past the emission police?

 

[joe dirt]

Knock on wood. Just barely passed the emission testing with CEL on again. I did have to retest due to high no2 the sniffer reported.Cel has been on for a long time. If memory serves correct a few years ago regs changed that CEL does not cause an immediate failure.

 

[byrd_hntr]

Interesting. I thought CEL was instant failure.

Amazing!! Congratulations.

Yea - surprising they pass you in Boulder. Have you pulled the code to figure out what's wrong? Could be as simple as O2 sensors. Congrats on 300k. That's impressive over 13 years.

I have pulled the codes before but can't remember the specific number . Codes lead me to change o2 sensor before the cat . Twice I have replaced this sensor resulting in CEL turning off for approx. 5000 miles each time. CEL has been on for the last 175k. Now I curious to pull the code again.
