Can anyone give any ideas what can be done to get this car over the edge in Cali. I haven't tuned it up since last year but just changed the oil.
Thanks. Mabey a tune up would do it even though it feels like it is running better than ever.

you need a new O2 sensor, and or a new catalytic converter
that's the only way you can lower NOx ( assuming there is no mechanical issues ) --------------------  |

One tip is soak the bottom one in PB for at least 6 hours before trying to remove it because it won't budge. Spray a few times even better and drive, park,drive again. Then it finally broke loose. My new question is I unhooked the battery and small neg lead for about 30 seconds my car clock was not set anymore but my radio did not loose memory(usually I have to reset stations). Would this be enough for the computer to reset and do I need to reset to get the new sensors to adjust? The old sensors were very corroded and I don't think they were working properly. I want to go back to smog asap. Thanks in advance. Now that I think about it I should have pulld both leads off not just neg terminal. Probably another ground somewhere.
