Pull plugs. One was cracked. Wire for that one was stuck on and messed up too. I'll be getting new plugs and wires tomorrow, but I doubt that'll help my NOx readings, lol.
Did a compression test and it was good. 160, 165, 162, 161. Pretty happy about that. Should I have kept my foot on the pedal? because I didn't do that. Lol. I'm curious if you could estimate the number of miles on a car based on it's compression test results. Because that's the heart of a car, the most expensive and most important right? Engine and transmission. If I could have one thing it'd be a good, healthy engine with high compression numbers. I don't know the true mileage of this car. Did a VIN check and there's some weird exempt stuff and one past reading is like ten or twenty thousand miles higher than what the current odometer is showing.
Going to try to do some testing on my catalytic converter. Knock it with a mallet to see if anything's loose. Check to see if it's clogged somehow, might need to buy a gauge or something ;(. Going to replace the thermostat, it's $8-20. Still have no idea what's causing the white smoke. Maybe I'll do some radiator tests and check for bubbles and stuff like that. I'm running out of ideas. It'[s all over the place.
