Car wont pass smog..... need some help!!

[THEhomelessONE]

Yeah I think my cat is done, ran the car really lean once, maybe that killed it.

Very little improvement. Kind of want to try straight e85 with 21lb injectors.

Hey i don't think they are warming up your car before the do the test seems like it. And if they are all 3 gases are high would recommend replace the converter

Duuuuuudeeeeee.

If you want some more time just claim out of state residency.
Tags good for one year without smog.

LOL i tried doing it the right way and now its time for me to take a different approach.

Not trying to hijack your thread... but if anybody has a cat they want to let me borrow / buy then that'd be awesome. I'm catless and need to pass smog here in San Jose / Santa Clara... I haven't even tried getting tested yet because I know I won't pass.

Unplug o2 sensor. High nox is running lean, this will force it to run sorta not really rich in open loop.
Btw you better be at a no pass no pay play lol or that's $$$ for each time.

Replaced the intake boot yesterday and took it in today to get smogged and failed again at 15 mph for too much NOx.... FML

Sold my 318is with 450k+ and would pass smog with original cat and a chip. Smoke test time maybe? I've read if you use a universal o2 sensor it can read wrong from the wires being spliced.

I have a M42 and I am pretty sure its Hydraulic. correct me if I am wrong

Yeah you are right this is just interesting now hmmm

you are correct.

[Wasefi]

hope it gets figured out soon have you tried adjusting the valves? it could help if your tuning is out of wack it might mess up mixture. hope the new boot helps

Sorry I meant to say if it corrects the mixture, since my car is running lean

Also cleaned the MAF so we'll see if that makes a difference in idle when I put it back together
