California star smog

[wed3k]

nope, off the top of my head in california...mendocino county and amador county. they are all about 2.5 hours out of the bayarea. it depends on population density. low pop = no smog, medium = tsi testing, high density = dyno testing

I was sent to a STAR station this weekend.

I passed all the sniffer tests with decent numbers. I had previously set the valves, timing and idle, as well as putting in new gas cap, sparks, cables, oil w/filter, rotor and dist cap with a fairly new cat.

I FAILED on the "fuel evaporative control functional" which means there is a leak some where in the fuel system. They pressurize the entire system at the gas cap and the system must hold that pressure for a specific period of time. Some somewhere in the system I have a rotten hose or seal that won't hold pressure.

Have a shop smoke your fuel system. Trust me it is worth the money because it will find a very small leak
