A failed smog after a tune up led to quite the journey. Initially the main suspect was the MAF. Had that sent away and rebuilt (Thanks Roger!) and that brought the car to about 80% health and another failed smog attempt.

Next in line was the Temp2 sensor, fuel pressure regulators, and dampers. Idle hunting and some cold start issues kept me looking for more. Swapped the O2 sensor and a new fuel filter as well. Wasn't confident that I'd pass so we look more.

The final piece of the puzzle was the LH module. Huge thanks to Rich in Az for the loaner module that was the last piece of the puzzle. Not only does the car run fantastic but it killed the smog check test today too!

Thanks again to Rich here in Sac, Roger in Tx, and Rich in Az for all the help and guidance. This is the best the car has ever run since I bought it and it's like a dream!! Oh and thanks to my buddy here at work Justin who helped me with all these part swaps!

Passing results for your (and my) pleasure!




Probably could have go this all done in less time but wife, life, and kids sometimes get in the way!
