What kind of smog issues do you have with your montero sport

[palmsprings]

This question is in reference to my 2001 montero sport 3.0.
I was reading over the following link to calif smog questions www.smogtips.com/forums-failed-smog-5.cfm and alot of people seem to have some costly test failures & experieces with various models us cars. Im wondering what smog test failures members have experienced and the fixes you evenrually had with your monteros.I prefer that examples are from M/S most like mine so I can compare apples to apples . [attachment id="298" thumbnail="1" It will behelpful if you state your year and engine size ,the part failure,,how much it cost etc.

I'm on the CO front range so emissions testing isn't quite as stringent as CA. The only emissions related parts I've had to replace - which have caused the only problems I've ever had with emissions - are the CAT and EGR valve.

The CAT had a cracked case - too many hits on rocks - and the EGR clogged up after about 350K miles.

Ususally, emissions problems are caused by poor upkeep like not doing the regular maintenance, people screwing with stuff they don't know anything about and sensors wearing out and eventually failing. After that it's just general engine wear and provided the vehicle was kept up, valve stem seals seem to be at the top of the list.

Otherwise, I've never run across anything specific with the '00-'05 models.
