First of all, Happy New Year! I’ve met a lot of cool people through IH8Mud, hopefully I meet even more in 2020.
Backstory. 1997 LX450 with stupid PO401 which I am happy to ignore, but the smog man has arrived.
One of the things I love about mud is you can pretty much just copy somebody else for almost anything.
The tests I’ve done.
1) EGR:
2) EGR modulator ( which I replaced about 1 year ago): /m.youtube.com/watch?v=WOSFmKY15SU
3) VSV: Checking VSV for EGR easy way P0401
EGR passed, modulator passed, VSV failed ( no resistance and didn’t close with 12v) so I will get a new one and bolt it on the outside of the intake. My question is, am I testing correctly for each component?
