didnt pass inspection :(
 

so after all my dilemmas the past week I didnt pass inspection... Need to get an idle air control valved aswell as a mass air sensor. I doubt any of you have these extra but if you do let me know otherwise im shelling out alot :(

What was the cause? High emissions?

check engine light has been on for a while

If the CEL has been on, have the codes read and post them. Then we'll be able to get a better idea of what is causing the problem and help with some fixes.

had the codes read computer reset etc.

Ok... that really doesn't help. What were the codes before you had them reset?

It could be a bad O2 sensor, due to bad gas? Or many other things.......

i know which sensor is bad it was in the original post lol, the mass air sensor is the only sensor bad, and the idle air control valve is also bad.

Not sure which one you have. If its 3.0 I have Idle comtrol valve from my 330ci - you can have ( I just need to find it in my garage)
Would be nice if you can post a picture from REALOEM of the valve you need...just to confirm. Let us know.

hey man, i will find a pic as soon as i get in today. I have a 3.0 so if you are really willing to do that it would be great, thanks a lot man.

Forgot to mention - I have a code reader...that might help too :thumbup:

Philly brotherly love:thumbup:

BTW, for air mass sensor google some junk yard, they may have one for 3.0 (this engine shares by 330i, 530i etc so shouldn't be hard to find), and the price of junk yard is 1/3 or half compare to new. Just make sure the junk yard ok the 45 day waranty.
good luck.

hey philly x5 i really appreciate the help man, I could stop by today if you are free. Just let me know when you arent busy and once again thanks so much.

Man thats crazy...In Kansas we don't have to do inspections. Only when the car is brand new. Thats it. If you buy it used, you don't need inspections. To renew your license plates you don't need an inspection either...You could have machine gun turrets that pop out of the car and they still don't check...

yeah in PA you have to get it inspected every year.

in your state thats is crazy too.
here in michigan you dont need any inspections at all.

thread hight jack is completed.

i owe you big time philly x5!
