Really quick info here peeps. Now I'm no mechanic, but I just had to do some quick fixies because I failed my smog check. (barely passing on all parts)
After doing some searching I found out that failing a SMOG could be fixed by doing something as easy as changing spark plugs, or as difficult as replacing your CAT. (not the one that meows)
Luckily for me all I had to do was replace the 02 sensor and I passed with flying colors.
Moral of the story: find a mechanic you trust (luckily I do) have him run a diagnostic check on your engine and start with the small things 1st.
(all info is personal opinion from recent experience, there are very knowledgable people here that can also offer different options.)
