I Tried a Few but WTF!<br />I failed it 2 weeks ago, so I took it to a shop that knows somewhat about smog, they said it needs a tune up and new 02's, so I tune it up and get new 02's. Saturday I took it to get a re-test and it failed again, only that this time it passed 1 of the 2 tests. Okay so the Tech tells me he'll run it again in about 30min and he say's drive it on the freeway and come back. I hop on the freeway drive to Fremont swoop up my cousin, head back to the smog shop. I wait about 30min. he runs it again and this time the numbers were way off and I fail again. He said the engine was to hot. WTF. he said he fucked up because he didn't know it was dual exhaust. this cat seemed hella PUZZLED. My cousin knows this cat by coincidence and he did't charge me a dime.<br />All this over SMOG. Any Advise would help?I can post up the numbers if anyone knows about smog! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>EASTBAY5_0</b> <br /><small>Member # 3292</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,7,14,13,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> are u failing the visual or emissions part? is all your smog parts in tact? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SWERVN50</b> <br /><small>Member # 6854</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,7,14,13,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I pass visual.
