I haven't been in this forum in a while, and the last time you guys were of great help. I'm hoping this time it will be the same.
I have failed the emissions test 6 times. My license was suppose to be suspended yesterday!
From the first time that the car failed the emissions test I took it to PepBoys were they told me that I needed what is basically a tune-up aside from changing the alternator and 02 sensors. They wanted to charge $1200 including labor!
I did the tune up myself but I let my neighbor change the 02 sensors since he's a mechanic. I told him about the emissions problem and he says that he fix the problem. He didn't want to tell me what he fix so I decided not to rely on him since the car failed the emissions once again afterwards and with worse readings.
The problem is with the HC (hydrocarbons) not burning up right. Has anyone else experienced or might be able to lead me on the right track. What else should I look out for or stuff like that. Thanks.
