Numbers were okay through the whole test except Nox at 15MPH.I've hooked up the vaccum pump to the EGR and it effects the way the car idles when applied. I turned the pump around to use as a gauge and.... NothingI think I may need to go through all of the vaccum lines to look for a leak. Does anyone have a pdf or something I can go by to get this straightened out?

Thanks a ton

All vacuum lines are straight. I took the car for a drive with the Mity-vac turned around and the vacuum seems to be kicking in just a little over 15mph. Perhaps the smog tech keeping the miles on the low end of the slow test, the EGR just never opened, leaving the nox high on that test. Seems I had the same fail numbers on my 240sx when it tested UNLESS it had a NEW cat on it.
