I'm debating whether to clean the CAT with citric acid before the test, or wait and see if I fail, then clean, then try again, then buy a new CAT if I fail twice. The car never has failed, but for some reason the test makes me nervous, lol.
When I did my smog not even a month ago, I wasn't even close to failing in any category so I think I'll hold off on doing it. However I am getting really weird power losses still at takeoff, I think I'm gonna change my fuel filter and see if it helps. Meh.
