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.

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.

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.
