Hey guys, I’ve been working hard on trying to get my car to pass smog here in CA, and failed part of the NOx portion of the sniffer test. This is after replacing/repairing a number of parts.
I have replaced O2 sensors / o2 wire harness, CATS, spark plugs wires, egr valve/ egr sensor, pcv valve, connected hose w/ check valve to h-pipe, and tried to identify any broken vacuum hoses.
But I just realized that THIS rear coolant hose coming out of my EGR spacer is capped off. I know it connects somewhere on the lower intake manifold but I cant see where is goes and I’m not sure what I’m looking for??? I’ve searched online for what the connection looks like, but no luck so far. I think I need it connected, for my EGR valve to function, and hopefully pass smog.
Does anyone have a pictures or diagram of where this hose connects? I’d really appreciate any help. Is it accessible or do I need to take off my upper intake manifold?
