Hi i have an 89 hatchback with a 96 KA24de all stock only has a muffler tip. I got this car from trading my last hatch for it which had a blown engine and the hatch with KA24de i have now was done by previous owner and has all smog equipment from i can see. It wont pass smog here in California for a few reasons and just need help and advice on what to do to make it pass on what the car didnt pass. It didn't pass pcv ( but i replaced the tube in the front connecting the valve cover and air intake), fuel evaporative controls functional, ignition timing: 30btdc, fuel evaporative controls, MIL/Check Engine Light.

Okay so my first question is should i just spend all my money that i have left on a smog guy that well just pass it for me? I don't like this idea only because its all my money and i wanna kinda get my car running right. I only have 250 dollars to spend at the moment

Another option is should i just take it to a regular smog place again but a smog place that can fix my car and make it run right not just a smog check only place. But i think this well take all my money as well if not more. Basically I pay 70-80 dollars for smog test and then whatever it cost to fix.

GO AHEAD AND MAKE ALL THE RUDE AND FLAMING COMMENTS YOU WANT I'M LEARNING AND THIS WELL ALL BE APART OF MY LEARNING PROCESS. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING EVER SINCE I GOT THIS SMOG CHECK A WEEK OR TWO AGO SO DON'T SAY I HAVEN'T SEARCHED. EVERYTHING I SEARCHED IS ABOUT SMOG DELETE NOT PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER. SO PLEASE JUST SPREAD A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE.
