97 Camry XLE V6 Failed Smog Badly....Again...!!
The max HC was 42, average is like 6-7, mines was 99!! Other was like average of 7, mines was 72!
I know my valve seals are going as I get smoke on startups frequently but they say that shouldn't affect it. Anybody know how much does it usually cost to fix that thing? Now I know I got the EVAP (0446) check engine light but I reset it once and it never came up again.
Spark plugs have been changed the last 6 months (Bosch +4 Platinum). Guy at Kragen's said you probably won't pass with those. He suggested as OEM as possible. I'm in the process of changing the fuel filter, spark plugs AGAIN, and spark plug wires. Don't think I'm running lean so my O2 sensors should be ok...
Anybody have suggestions on what specific ones to buy? In terms of fuel filter, spark plugs, and wires? I was thinking of getting the Fram universal fuel filter, NGK wires, and the spark plugs is what is confusing me. I want the NGK ones which can maximize my performance but I suppose are OEM enough to pass smog. I was interested in the Iridium IX. The Laser Cut seems too pricey for me.
