HC are low even on the retest so possibly a bad injector?

There are four shops at play here shop 1: doesn’t do smog just repairs, they found the egr vacuum hose fixed for free they did the ac too. shop 2: smog only he did the retest for free and told me to drive it around. shop 3: sent it out to be smogged at another shop, two years ago, they had to adjust the timing that was it. I have a feeling they crossed something. I replaced the air pump about 4 years ago egr was also replaced. im thinking it’s a bad injector or a vacuum issue.

The only things I had done was the ac had to be sealed and refilled and that was it. I was not there the last time I had it tested as it was at a repair shop. I’ll bet they did some voodoo to get it passed. But two years before it passed fine. It’s strange

Odometer- 39000. I had the camshaft and lifters replaced with stock ones many years ago (lobe was flattened). All the seals were replaced when this was done.

ECU was rebuilt two years ago It passed two years ago and two years before that it’s not all 45 years old I’ve replaced most everything through the years. im thinking it could be a vacuum leak to the ecu map. Car runs flawless.

do you think it’s because the EGR has been non functional for a while?

Now with the egr functional the CO went up to 2.0 it has to be .8.

One of my favorite films!

use the WAZE app on a phone. Forget outdated maps and GPS. I would only use a map for a cross country trip and that’s it!

Which is what we did, as a result of the egr functioning we have high CO

they still do the tail pipe which doesn’t help me.

No HV is not exempt sadly

Less than a week of driving it I can usually only go 200 miles or so on a tank

Okay so the co jumped to 2.0. Smog tech told me that I need to run through a tank of gas and bring it back. And fill with Techron

Good news looks like the hoses were routed wrong to the EGR. So no vacuum was going there at all! I’m taking it back later to be smogged

Timing was perfect (they check that as part of smog)

The ballot measure to eliminate prop 13 went down in flames last year. That’s a third rail of politics in California that every governor knows not to touch.

Still available

Some of you are funny- move them you don’t have to smog it! Lol sorry I’m not trading year round sunshine and good weather for having to store my cars in a garage for six months due to the snow lol

Sure!

So I took my 77 in which passed smog fine two years ago, any ideas as to what could be wrong? The smog tech mentioned EGR

I’ve been trying to sell my 82 Imperial the last several weeks for $4750 I have about $7k into it the last couple of years and many videos and photos. But now I have received a Pro tip: When looking for a classic car make sure the head on collisions are up to 2022 standards! I swear selling this 82 Imperial certainly has its moments, You have to see it to believe it!

No I haven’t

Perhaps
