Because your car is old, I will advise that you go to a smog repair station. They are more specialized of doing quick and temporary fixes for car being rejected by the DEQ stations.

That's not why they make it harder and harder to pass because they want everyone to buy new cars

Sorry yours was the best answer. This is what it reads MAX: 788 AVE: 473 MEAS: 1507. I am afraid it won't pass. Please help me. Thank you

Well thank you I will give it a try. Could an exhaust leak make it not pass?
