think the best solution to pass the smog check, using Anthony's method, is by the following procedure; BUT, if you have a bad cat problem initially preventing you from passing smog check, keep in mind people, your catalytic converter will eventually need to be replaced to prevent damage to your engine. This is just a temporary method to try to help pass smog. 1) reset your codes using an obdII 2) remove o2 sensor#2 (Downstream), after cat and clean it while you are at it. 3) install adapter 4) install o2 sensor unto the adapter 5) run your vehicle for 60 miles or more, depending on your vehicle so you can have all onboard monitors ready for smog check & hopefully your check engine light does not appear. 6) the day/time of your smog check inpection, run your vehicle for at least 4 to 6 miles or more for a warm up. 7) remove o2 sensor (wear gloves & work smart as components will be hot) 8) remove adapter(wear gloves & work smart as components will be hot) as they may visually be inspecting undeneath. 9) re-install o2 sensor without adapter. ( wear gloves & work smart as components will be hot) 10) visit your local smog check station & hopefully it will pass without having the adapter during the test/inspection. 11) good luck people! ✌🕶🔧
