failed smog

[sharky559]

Well I took the 2g to get smog changed. Pass the visual but failed emissions. And they called my car a gross polluter. Don't know what's going on. I have no check engine light. Need help. Any ideas on what could be the problem. ...

do u have a catalytic converter? are all your emission related lines hook up correctly?

Yup cat is on.

Cat could be no working anymore what where the #'s?

Didn't they give you a report of what failed? It makes a big difference as to what it is polluting exactly. Its hard to give recommendations without more information.

I don't have the paperwork on me but when I get home I'll post again

Usually the smog technician will tell you what could cause the problem if you ask them, also post the paperwork so that people can see the report. Last time this happened to me on my truck he said to change the spark plugs and pcv valve, I did and it past the next day. Good luck
