    I.D.K.?
    Hi everyone, I bought a 94 MM and having trouble getting it to pass smog (live in San Diego, CA). So far I've changed the rotor cap, cleaned the EGR, had the EGR pressure checked that was fine, even went and bought to bottles of guaranteed to pass (did not pass). I found out I also need to take it in to see a referee, love that. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with refs? Sick of looking over my shoulder because I can't even get a title transfer unless I have a passing smog check.

    NO SMOG tests in Hawaii (yet) but this stuff helped my truck run better: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c...ve/mrg8/120007

    I closely followed the directions; do they tell you the reason for SMOG fail ? Would googling the reason give a fix answer ?
    Good Luck
