It passed smog last February, but I gotta do it again. The gas tank is half full right now, havent done an oil change for almost 3 months, just flushed the radiator fluid, and thats about it.


Any suggestions to give me that extra edge for passing?

 

new spark plugs, new air filter, and read the FAQ for FC sticky thread

 

Remove and cap off o2 sensor, empty tank to just on fumes with gas.....pour alcohol in tank, refill after test

 

a nice fresh catalytic converter always helps.

 

sorry to bring this back but

why should we cap off the O2 sensor

 

You should cap off the 02 sensor so you fail the visual test

 

well i hope to find places for no-visual, and its possible

see my dilema is this
either i go to a test-only pass-or-retest place, but i have to make EVERYTHING back to stock spec, even ACV (and well i used RTV on my plate and also it seems the ACV/plate was causing alot of vac probelms, so i don't want to touch it)

OR i go to a place where they do test-only which that guy does not care about visuals but don't have pass-or-retest so i will waste the test money if i fail AGAIN

 

move to a different state

 

yeah...... that'll work

 

Have your buddy follow you to smog station, a reputable one, tell them you have to go to... answer your cell phone, say "oh my god, where? I'll be right there. Give them your cell phone number, a hundred dollar bill, and tell them to just park the car when its done. Your wife went into labor and you will get back as soon as possible. If its more, you will pay when you get back.

PEACE THE DOG

 

being 19 years old, having a wife seems unbelieveable eh? and if i wanted to do that, i should have done it with my upgraded turbo..... wasting my time changing my stocker..... =D
