Re: my 97 lexus failed the smog check my mechanic say is...
Why didn't you ask your mechanic what this was? I never heard of a PVS. I have heard of a PVC valve, but that is not likely to fail your smog test. Does the car have any trouble codes?
The PCV valve can cause a failure of the smog test. Buy a new one at an auto parts store and replace it yourself iabout five minutes.The PCV valve can cause a failure of the smog test. Buy a new one at an auto parts store and replace it yourself iabout five minutes.

There isn't any kind of a simple reset that can be done to fix this problem. A smog testfailure means that a mechanical or control system has failed and a repair is needed to correct a fault.
No the water pump will not affect the smog test. You probably failed the idle? Usually with this age of vehicle you can replace the o2 (oxygen) sensor and it will pass. Cleaning the MAF if it has one cant hurt either if you do it right.
that code indicates that there is a air pump to decrease the amount of harmful fumes thru the exhust system the air pump maybe failing causing the code
If your 84 mustang is fuel injected, it has a check engine light. If it is carbeurated (like mine) it does not. 85 and up are EFI, 84 was the crossover year.
Tune it up and replace the 02 sensor that keeps setting the codes bank 2 sensor 1. Have your oil and filter changed right before you go for a retest to. That will clear up 3 codes P0300, 0155 and 0154. You might have to replace the fuel sending unit to get rid of P0463 but if the gauge works OK I'd leave it alone.
you need to add the codes on the vir or if the check engine light is on what codes do you have?
and always inlcude the engine size for your car
many people does question here but most of they are not ading the right information like what kind of engine and like that is hard to help
