Got my Expedition smogged. 9% O2 in exhaust?
This was a bit mind-blowing. I had my Expedition smog-checked last week. The tech guy was surprised at how clean the exhaust was. This doesn't make any sense... 9% O2, 1 ppm HC and 0 ppm CO. While I promise not to try it, exhaust is actually capable of sustaining life if you had to breath it. Well, the CO2 would get to you after a while, but the engine has to be running way, way lean. What do you think, guys? O2 sensor? Or is this normal? That engine has got to be pushing a lot of extra air through it robbing me of that boat-pulling power I need to get over the Grapevine.
