I'm not sure if your reading my post completely, alas I'm here for help, not a fight! I will check the one week old O2 sensor and see if a got a dud from the auto parts store. I feel that I'm learning much more from this process and feel that I have a better knowledge of how this engine works...

Thank you for your reply and your observations. I want to clarify that I'm not a mechanic, but I am interested on learning about this, that is why I'm here asking questions. BTW the only change to this engine is the EGR which I understand would not be the cause of such a high CO and HC. It is...

Please don't misunderstand I'm not unwilling just not able to give you these numbers you ask for at this time. I have work and family obligations that keep me busy as I believe you would understand. I don't have the ability to check the O2 sensor cross over readings, but I will look to see what...

I hoped to quash this with my intro on this thread. Sorry that it went the way it did with the last one, I just felt you were a bit harsh and like you do with people who don't do their homework with these engines I tend to call it like I see it when someone is being a bit much. Either way I'd...

I had considered the 4 gas analysis, but figured that I have two of those numbers already and one of the other two(NOX) is going to be high due to the deleted EGR. With that I just assumed that it wouldn't be very helpful. Am I wrong there? BTW what are your thoughts on one cat vs two? The...

No cross count data, don't personally have the ability to get that and I'm not sure where to go to get that done. I could recheck the new O2 sensor to make sure it is fluctuating as is should be. How would knowing how often the reading crosses 450mv line help in this case? I understand how the...

Don't have them, it's not part of the emissions testing. They have offered a four gas analysis, but more for helping to tune it while on the four gas to get it right and then quickly put it on the emissions machine. Honestly I didn't go for that as I'd like to find the actual issue.

About a month back I posted a question in regards to some emissions issues I was having. I searched the thread and it apparently got closed. I'm taking a chance re-posting after several attempts to fix the issue without success. Please don't flame me for this as I'm really trying to figure this...

I'll add that to the list of things to check along with the AFM and the timing. I really appreciate the suggestions, I've not had to diagnose a problem like this before so I'm in uncharted territory here, but I'm willing to learn. Can't stand taking my vehicles to the mechanic unless I...

Airflow meter is untouched and is original to the engine. The testing here isn't really strict so I didn't get any NOx or O2 readings with it. I checked for any codes and there wasn't any showing. Honestly I was hoping that there was a trouble code, would have made fixing this a bit easier. I'll...

I'm not here to start anything, just looking for some help. Simple. I appreciate the link and as a matter of fact I had found that already, I've become very familiar with the cygnus link since owning this engine. Never looked for spoon feeding, just some non-sarcastic help, that's all. I've been...

Hey there neighbor!! Thanks for the replies. Yep I'm using the 7M ECU, but I had to ditch the EGR because of fittment issues with the firewall. I've done some research and I believe deleting the EGR isn't the issue, as far as the HC goes, but does make the engine run a bit hotter. I have seen...

You were never in! Thanks for nothing, you can go back to the holier then thou attitude and attack someone else that doesn't know as much as you do about these engines!! BTW I found another thread on this site with someone asking a similar question about emission problems and you had almost the...

No I didn't just throw the engine in there and called it a day. No MIL lights have shown themselves and I have had the need to check for them for other reasons and haven't had any come up. Not to say that since something has changed, but I honestly don't check for them regularly as part of my...

Hmmmm, I'm not doing anything that hasn't been done before. I simply placed a 7M in place of a 22RE. Less the EGR the entire engine is there, no other modifications have been done. I understand that the engine is very rich. What I'm looking for is some advice on how to correct it which you don't...

Alright so here's the backround, 1994 Toyota Pickup, swapped in a 7MGE to replace a tired 22RE. Idaho emission testing time and she failed!! Idle CO% of 6.99 and the computer is looking for less then 1.2. Also the HC PPM at Idle was 513 and the limit is 220. The mech said the the HC isn't all...

Okay so here is an update. I double checked the distributor and the o-ring which looked okay. I re-installed it with a gasket I made from some gasket paper for a bit insurance just in case the o-ring wasn't doing the job well. Cleaned up the mess as best I could and then fired her up and took...

So I got home today and immediately got to checking where there is and isn't oil. No oil was found inside the cap, that's good....doesn't appear to be any new oil directly under the distributor. After a look of looking at funny angles it appears that the oil is coming from high on the block near...

Yeah that's the first thing I'm going to do and I'm hoping that's not the issue! There aren't a lot of 7mge's out there to pick parts off of and I really cannot afford to buy a remaned unit!!

Alright so here's an update for anyone interested. I went out the two of the local pick-a-parts and at the second one I was lucky enough to find an '88 Supra that was suprisingly intact! Someone had pulled the head, but thankfully had left the dizzy! I was really happy to have found one seeing...
