    87 octane is fine for e30s.

    might want to replace your o2 sensor as well.

    No, really though, I have a paper that breaks it down as far as what causes what. I'll have to dig it up.

    A lean condition will cause that. It will cause both high HC, and high NOx PPM due to the higher temp of the burn.
    A lean condition will be caused by a ripped intake boot.

    There are more reasons. But that's staring you right in the face.

    Failed smog.. How bad?

    This is my smog result. The guy I bought the car from ran it only with 87 octane for 3 years and it clearly says 91 premium gasoline only on the gas door. Also the intake boot has a slit that can only be seen when you push down a little on it. I've ran about 3 full tanks of shell/chevron 91 octane and changed the spark plugs. How bad is it and what do you guys think the problem is?
