NAC - a Toyota Corolla question

Although I am far from knowing what I'm talking about, many years ago my
brother moved to LA and had to pay a fee ( a few hundred dollars) to
bring his car into California.

> 3. am I nuts?

Well, yes, but what does that have to do with this question?

The fee of which Huw speaks has gone away, victim of a lawsuit.  In fact,
refunds were issued.  A good service should take care of the HCs.  Levels in
LA are tested on a dyno, and this car isn't OBD 2, so they use straight
tailpipe numbers.  You're close on the HCs, a little high on the CO, and I
dunno about the NOX, they don't look at that where I live.  I can probably
find out, though.  Might wanna replace the O2 sensor. You could stop by my
shop (2 hours north in the wine country!) and we could do a pretest and get
it right so you could sail through the test.  The car has to pass; there's
no fee and fix it later program.  HTH, John
