All maintenance is up to date: spark plugs, filters, etc. New pre-cat O2 sensors and cats are 2 yrs old. Cleaned out egr passages with seafoam twice. Have tried a used egr valve but same results. No vacuum leaks. Car runs good and no cel. Only thing bad is a slight valve cover leak that I think drips onto exhaust manifold and causes burning, but that shouldnt affect NO. New egr valve? Why NO is low on 15 test and so high on 25 test?
