I didn't know the smog stations need to put a fan in front when temp is over 74...

Thanks for the info.

I don't think they are trying to make it easy for us. I saw the fan there and even asked if the car wasn't getting hot. No answer.

Sharkpilot:

You mentioned in your post that your car passed the CA smog test in April with the readings you showed in your post. I'm sure you are aware that the cutpoints have changed since then and those same readings would not pass now. Here are the current standards courtesy of SoCal Zr1: http://www.smogcheck.ca.gov/pubwebqu.../ShowMake.aspx

I only bring this up as I am trying to gather a database of cars and test numbers with the eye of making an appeal to the BAR for these cars. If you are interested in participating in this project all I need is the smog numbers you get when you next go for a test. My advice is to go early as the process will not be fun.

Thanks for your postings regarding your smog issues. I too am having difficulties with my 1990. Did you finally pass? If so or if not can you give me the latest numbers you have gotten for HC, CO and NO.

HeHe another option may be for u Cali boys to register your car in another state? I don't see this getting any easier in the years to come.

One thing you guys need to keep in mind is everything that goes into the system also goes in a Carfax,failed smog included.I would shop around and find somebody that speaks flaunt English.The first time I had to have the car Test Only I must have gone to maybe 5 places before I was comfortable with the guy doing the smog.To the OP,I would take the results to a CA referee and let him know something isnt right with these smog stations.Ca wants the strict smog policy,they can find the money,time to look into this.Eveybody that thinks its kinda funny eveytime we in Ca have to jump through hoops for the Smog Circus just wait,it will be in your state at some point.Its inevitable.

Here is my smog as of 9-10. It had the MH PROM installed in it when smogged. Totally stock 1990 with new injectors, plugs, wires, pumps, and coils.
