Good luck with the smog. Last time I had to pass in Ohio, I tried everything and couldn't get my S/Cd PGT tuned to pass. Later I found out that the cat was about 1/2 gone, thus my problem. Anyway, fortunately in Ohio, you could get a temporary pass if you brought in receipts for emission related repairs of $200 or more. I got a new cat installed, and purchased an extra O2, and was thus good to go until next time I needed to pass. I was quite surprised with this loophole. But, at least it made some sense. If you kept throwing $'s at it each year, theroetically the polutants should go down.

Out of curiosity, do they do tests on a dyno in Calif. I know Calif has had some of the toughest emission regs, but I'm totally unfamiliar with the requirements. Imagine you had to jump throught some hoops to get the kit CARB cert. In Ohio they run the car through a simulated course with stop/starts, accel/decel, etc with fairly narrow speed bands that the tech has to keep the car within throughout the test, or the test has to be rerun. Don't know if Ohio still does it that way, but when they initiated that twist it caused a lot more problems for factory stock cars. Even sensors a little out of spec would cause issues even when they weren't bad enough to throw a code.

MB, you are reading the wrong thread...try reading through the entire section on "Heavy Breathing"...you can find out all about the development, planning and execution of Stages 1, 2 and 3 and all of the mini-steps in between...it is quite extensive and will avoid re-hashing of topics that have been well discussed.
JMHO,
Jay
