The car runs great, engine is strong although a bit loud.
It is now too late but could a PPI have revealed emission issues?
Can I get some diagnosis on emission problems with a code scanner (still to be built as in http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/attachment.php?attachmentid=37619&d=1162392878 ) at the 16-pin connector near the battery? |
PPI covers the car's mechanics. Suspension, rust, brakes and all that. I've yet to see a mechanic that does emission testing as part of a PPI. As for the code scanner, I don't know.
What's your fuel mileage? And what do you mean the engine is loud? These M104's are rather quiet with little to absolutely no valve train noises. Usually with poor emissions comes poor fuel mileage and what not. The engine is running great because these engines love fuel and heat.
