The car does not throw any codes. From what I can gather from other members' posts with similar results as mine, I should be able to pass with some new cats and O2 sensors. One problem I seem to have, was during the OBD2 diagnostic scan, it read "Not Supported", which seemed to throw off the Smog tech.<br /><br />Any ideas, comments or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
