'92 SL2 Smog Check - help / advice
I live in California and to register my car this year requires a smog check.
I'm not really looking for "Marvel's Magic Smog Check Fix" to dump in the tank just before the check but I do want to give it the best chance of passing. I use the highest octane gas with standard plugs for a '92 SL2 DOHC ( NGK BKR 5E SA-11 ). Would lower octane and longer reach plugs help ? Any advice is appreciated. I've kept it in good shape; change the oil & filters 2-3 times as often as recommended and drive fairly sanely. Thanks, BillM |

Lower octane will not help and will likely increase hydrocarbons because spark may be more retard with it at time. Several bottles of dry gas (Methyl Alchol) can help because it adds oxygen to fuel and can reduce emission levels during a check. ----------------- The SnoMan www.thesnoman.com |
