I know they had lowered them when I had to smog the Cobra and I just passed. However, I discovered that I had a bad plug wire that was causing a misfire which explains why. I have to get my 1999 Suburban smogged and it had almost 180,000 miles on it. I'll let you know how it does.

It is "as new" for the vehicle model year...

I don't know enough about vehicle computers but I am wondering if they can be temporally reprogramed so the vehilce will pass.

Maybe if being a govt employee of CA BAR or CARB had the same life expectancy as a anti-drug Mayor in Mexico things would change.

It ticks me off that a govt agency can arbitrarily pick numbers and pass rules that affect thousands of people. Like in 1776, back enough people into a corner and the fight for justice begins. I'm ready just need a starting time.

I swear, if the blue car doesnt pass its getting a 393 and a t-trim.

You can. I have one of my cars timing set at 10 degrees no advance so I can pass NOX. My HC rises slightly, but remains below the limit.

Most smog shops check timing so that wont always work
