John,
I do lot of Smog for our customers and I find that if the engine is half
way running, it passes the test.
Should it not pass, it tells me it is not working at optimum.
I say that as long as your keeping the unit running in half way good shape
smog is not an issue every other year.
People misunderstand why it failes, and we need to re adjust.
