I took it to a shop where a friend was working just to see what was causing the check engine to stay on.

I will try to clean but I have no idea how to do this.

Vove, it might be time to replace the oxygen sensors if you haven't done so already.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I went to get my 99' an emission test and this is what came up when the test was over. Because of this, my car has failed the emission test cause' this throws the check engine light to be on. Has anyone seen this before or know of a quick fix for this problem? The car is running fine but I have to pass this emission test t keep her on the road. I'm taking my car to the shop after the new year but it would be nice to know what Im dealing with here.
I have tried to reset the computer by unplugging the battery but it comes back on as soon as I drive it.
Happy New Years!!!
A check engine light will always cause you to fail an inspection, why did you take it in with a light on?
What are the codes that are pulled from the computer?
I took it to a shop where a friend was working just to see what was causing the check engine to stay on. The code that it threw is P0446. Everything checked out except for the catalyst and the oxygen sensor.
Vove, it might be time to replace the oxygen sensors if you haven't done so already. You won't believe how expensive those little things are... maybe try cleaning them first just to see if that does the trick to pass inspection?
Have you tried to remove the code with a reader? I know on my car I could erase the code with the reader and get a 100 miles or so before it came back on. Sometimes you can get it through inspection that way, unless their emissions test is picking up the problem out of the exhaust.
erase the code, u can pass the Emission.
the problem may be u have a vacume leak some where. to do the job, the front passage side wheel has to be removed.
should be a small thing.
The last time I went they wouldn't lend it. An employee would come out to read it but wouldn't delete the code. They used to lend it out. He'd better hope the code doesn't reappear between the deletion and Veif station.
I was thinking something along this line since I have not replace these little things yet. I will try to clean but I have no idea how to do this. Do you have any documents that can guide me through this? Thanks G'.
This was the first thing that I did but when I did that, the computer could not read my codes and they made me drive the car until it could be read again. But when it can be read again, the check engine light came back on. In the older days, emission test was done through the exhaust pipe but technology has changed that and the test is done through the car's cpu. Ty.
Hmmmm...vacuum leak. Once the front wheel is removed, what do I check for?
Erasing the code WIILL NOT get you past emissions. Resetting the computer will set several sensors to the "not ready" mode until you have completed a few drive cycles. The tester will see this and tell you to go drive the car a bit more until the are properly set.
sorry i misundestood.
in some state, if the cel is not on, they won't even hook up with obo reader.
u need to check the line running from/to your gas tank? i am not a tech, nor a DYI, i happend to see this problem on another's car. that's all i know. best of luck.
P0446 EVAP Canister Shutoff Valve (Function) - Below Lower Limit
The task of the shutoff valve is to seal the purge air line to the EVAP canister during the (US required) fuel tank leak test.
Probable causes:
- Purge air line blocked.
- Flow resistance of EVAP canister too high.
ok i got the list of parts been replaced:
purge EVAP flow too low
VENT valve been replaced
