Subject: RE:Failed CA Smog Test by Jer on 2008/2/6 4:27:26 Other things that could help in addition to tune up and oil change: -Clean throttle body with throttle body cleaner -Change/clean air cleaner -Pump up rear tires to max pressure (less rolling resistance...not sure if this does much but free to try!) -A bottle or two of Heet or other alcohol based water remover evidently helps (too much is supposed to mess up the cats) -Make sure engine is really warmed up. I always drive the car a bit and let it idle at the smog shop while I am waiting. Hot cats work better. |
