The top reason for smog check failure.

– Vacuum leaks resulting in improper MAP sensor operation
– Defective air mass or air flow sensor

– Defective Catalytic Converter
– Defective thermostat (cooling system), thermostat stuck open
– Oil contaminated with fuel, excessive miles between oil changes

 HC Failure is the result of incomplete combustion. Any item that causes incomplete combustion can result in high HC. The most common causes are:

– Worn distributor cap and/or rotor
– Improper ignition timing, usually over advanced
– Vacuum leaks

– Engine mechanical failure, low compression, worn valves, excessive oil consumption
