Trying to pass the dreaded CA smog with my 325i, and naturally I failed pretty bad and am now a gross polluter.
Here are the numbers:
HC
MAX - MEAS
108 278
83 292
CO
MAX - MEAS
.71 .62
.40 .67
NO
MAX - MEAS
767 1997
706 1820
This is with a new O2 sensor, tune up, new ignition parts, valves adjusted, etc. The oil might have a little bit of gas in it from some testing of the injectors I did but is otherwise new as of a couple weeks ago.
During the smog check, the heater decided to start leaking really bad, so I had coolant smoke pouring thru the dash vents. The car didn't overheat, or even really get much hotter than normal, but it did happen. It was pretty embarrassing.
Since taking the test, I had the cat replaced and found a bunch of exhaust leaks, so I had the exhaust replaced too.
Anything else I should check? I know the new cat will help a lot...
