Re: Failed Smog Test Need Advice
If he says its not working then he's probably right. We wouldnt know if its true without seeing your car in person.
Is it a carb, tbi, or tpi? Have you changed the catalytic converter to a new one? And yes your timing needs to be set to factory specs. That depends on the engine it has.
