i was wondering if anyone can help i cant pass emission i went to them 3 times the first time i went it say i had high CO but i change the o2 sensor both and i went again a 2nd time it still fail not the CO but the NOX level
I went and got a new EGR Valve from a used auto parts place went home and clean it and took it out there the 3rd time still didn't pass still had high NOX level like last time but a little lower

I don't know what the problem is the last thing i was gonna do is to change the catylistic converter to a new one but i dont want to change it and have the same result
