Smog check LA area - help plz
One of my cars is a 2001 E46, call me crazy but still my favorite of all. I'm having problems getting the smog check passed, the check engine stays on no matter what I do. Looking for someone who can help pass the smog check in LA/ Long Beach area. Thanks all. :thumbup:

Have you tried to fix the issue that is tripping the CEL, or are you just praying to god, waving stuff around the interior, reinstalling the gas cap 10 times and whatnot?
California CARB runs stings with folks posting on forums, and guys that make a living smogging cars really do not want to get busted by 'some buddy's buddy said you could help me' Really, the solution is to fix the car. I see prior to asking for a smog shop, the last post was 2 years ago. Maybe asking for help with fixing the car would be the plan? |

Ive got a HIGHLY modified 996TT and an E39M5..and have many friends with modified cars. Superchargers, meth injection, etc,etc. somehow I and they are able to keep these cars running with 'a lot of aftermarket parts' and keep the CELs off. (fuel trim errors, readiness codes, o2 sensor codes, cps.vanos, secondary air, etc, etc...) No properly engineered, and installed aftermarket part will cause a CEL....youve failed to maintain the motor and now have an issue that is tripping a CEL. But good luck with finding a shop to bribe and risk their livelihood. |

You only have two choices, make the parts work together clean or take the parts off. |

You may want to invest in an OBD scan reader tool (relatively inexpensive and will pay for itself in the future) so that you can read the codes and address the issue(s).
MAF maybe dirty or air flow around the MAF is bringing dirt to the MAF. |
