Smog check results (ouch!) 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Mark on  Tue Oct 29 18:48 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I am a Ca. 240 owner as well. I agree with Mittenhead. Go to a dif. station. It can't be rich and lean! The state recently cut the allowable levels in HALF! The replacement Cats are about 90-100 bucks and are good for a little over two years. Use a station that gives a free retest. If the Cat doesn't do it, look at the fuel pressure regulator.Tune ups and oil changes are great if you need them, but they won't often cure the problem. My nox almost dissappeared after installing a new CAT. Good luck. And you want to continue driving the safest cars in the world,or the vehicle of your choice, FIRE GOV.DAVIS!
