I have these 8 emission codes that have been detected at the local inspection station. P0101, P0174, P0401, P0421, P0107, P0111, P0154, P0403....
How much will it cost to get these things fixed / is it worth it for a 10 year old suv?

    You will likely find that most of those codes are either erroneous or useless for a diagnosis. I would recommend clearing the codes and road testing a short bit. The ones that come back right away are the ones to attack. It looks like a bank 2 lean code and an EGR flow code, to identify two items there. So, there indeed may be more than one problem. There definitely is not 8 problems.

    So to answer your question - "worth it" is totally in the eye of the beholder. You could spend perhaps $300-$700 on repairs depending on what is wrong. That's still probably cheaper than a new car... Depends on how the rest of the vehicle checks out and whether you are attached to the truck or not.

    the suv, montaro, runs great - no issues at all. It has 135k miles and I'd rather have no monthly payment and get it fixed...
