Just had it smogged and the HC (PPM) failed at 277 the max allowed is 270  :down:. I think it might be something with the air/fuel. It just doesnt idle right. This sucks! now I have to take it to a gold service tech and pay more money :shudder:

Man, that sucks!  I always ask them to sniff the tailpipe first and abort the test if it doesn't pass.  It's saved me once.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

sorry to hear that, but sounds like you will pass fairly easy. the referees are rude as hell but will help a little.

im not sure what the deal is. The motor is a brand new rebuild. The guy i bought it from is the one that put it in so there is probably something not hooked up right. I havent really checked it out, I just did a visual of everything to see if there was anything out of place.

Didn't even consider timing!  I believe you have 3 degrees leeway either way, so you can retard it 3 degrees and pass a little easier.  I believe this is often the cause of the "my truck had more power before I got it smogged, what did they do?!" comment.

well it ended up being a vacuum leak. He also said I need to change the intake manifold gasket which didnt make any sence because it was just replaced with less than 30miles on it.
