Bill Mudd
92 SL2 - DOHC
The only part of the California smog test it
failed was the 15mph NOx.
My reading was 901ppm with 835ppm max allowed.
The 25mph NOx was half the max allowed.
The HC was 80ppm with 130ppm max and
the CO was .06% with .80% max allowed.

outside, the engine would do nothing (or maybe just one turn, then
nothing), and a warning light would flash. It was a security light
with a lock. Wait...

2002 VUE AC condensatation water leak by
bl
I have a 2002 Vue 4-cyl.
There is AC condensation leaking onto the passenger side floorboard.
I figure there is a drain plugged up with dirt somewhere.
It's probably a 1-minute fix after I find the problem.
Can someone tell me where the drains are,
or what other things I should look for to fix...
