not sure but my last 2.8 4trak was giving me bother it had no power and some one on here suggested the owner before me had the fuel pump turned down to get it through its emision test.not sure if that was the prob but i take it that is a trick but i'm not certain u would be better to wait and see if someone can confirm my theory.

Insufficient information.
Its a Sportrack. Is it ---- carburettor or HD-C or HD-E or EFI engine?

I wouldn't bother trying to fudge it through it's emissions test. It's either badly in need of a service and tune, has a knackered cat (about £60 on buypartsby.co.uk) or it may be burning oil (more expensive fix).
Forget main dealer work, they charge the earth and are no better than your independant mechanic - which should be your next port of call.
