How the fuck is possible for You to be running rich and fail a smog check? Did the smog guy stick a smog machine probe up your ass?


[Eek!]

the car has been sitting for 2 years i think that gas was bad i think that might bee it. it had an 1/8 of a ank and i just put 20 in im doing the tune up to day .

I would pump out every little bit of 2 year old gas and replenish with fresh. Also might consider that Smogcheck in a can crap. They say it will help lower numbers.

could be ur fuel pressure regulator or a sensor is bad

Damn those numbers are out of control! Start with plugs, wires, (cap and rotor if your car has them). You are getting an incomplete combustion for sure.
 
Posted by CobramanPhil (Member # 2170) on :
 
*Tune up(plugs, cap, rotor)
*Drain or run that gas out of your tank by driving the crap out of it.
*Refill tank (you might want to add that GTP stuff

What are the conditions of the cats? Are they original? Fresh cats always help.
