OK, here comes another required CA smog test.
Passed just fine a bit over a year ago, but I'd rather not have to deal with problems and have to go back... Plus this may give me the necessary motivation / excuse to do something worth doing on the truck...
Anything I should or should not do before taking the test?
I have replaced the plugs recently, the plug wires test fine, and I will probably put in a new rotor and cap by then. Also replaced PCV and air filter.
I was thinking of running a couple of Techron injector cleaner bottles in the gas for a few weeks taking the test. That should not hurt.
I have also been thinking for a while about doing the "Suck Seafoam in the intake" trick but I'm wondering if that's a good idea to do it now given that that would likely dissolve and make a bunch of gunk flow around. Waddaya think? OTOH, it might clean things up a tad.
Taking the intake off and cleaning the inside seems way overkill, no?
(Only 78k or so)
