Gotta pass a smog test with a B16, need help, already failed once
yeah, I live near enough Atlanta to need to pass an emmisions test. The guy said that my car was running too rich, and something being too hot.
I was a dumba$$ and didn't retard the timing, I'm supposed to be at 16* btdc, but I'm at like 18*, how much will retarding the timing help?
Also, I've got like 30psi going to the fuel rail right now at idle, can I turn that down any? Ga is stupid, the car can drive like crap, not make any power, but as long as it gives the machine low #'s, I pass.

Yeah, well, if you go that route I hope you have the sense not to announce it to everyone on H-T, and then come back and tell us about it after you do it.

set your ignition timing back to stock. make sure your cat is warm before you test. thats about all the suggestions i can give...

EDIT: i forgot to mention theres this stuff u can buy at any auto supply shop it's called something like "guaranteed to pass" or sum ****. you're supposed to put it in your gas tank like a day before the test.
