Failed Smog Test
 

1995 Chevy S10 Pickup failed smog inspection as a gross polluter.

I have a 95 Chevrolet S10 Pickup. It's from another state. When I had it smog checked it failed for GP only. How can I fix this?

When I had my truck smog inspected it failed on the GP only. I just want to know what I have to do in order to fix this problem so it will pass. I need to get my tags.

Answer:  

There's no short solution to your 1995 Chevy S10's Gross Polluter smog check failure. You must have a certified smog repair station take a look at your Chevy S10. You should give them the failed report, but I'm sure they will want to run their own tests also. Either way they will charge a diagnostic fee to figure out what the problem is. This is normal. I would just ask the station owner if he/she will guarantee the repairs. In other words, if they say the car needs a CAT, and you let them replace it, will they guarantee your car will pass? So just ask these questions and if the answers make sense then go for it. Sometimes it is possible not to be able to promise a passing car. Sometimes the problems a vehicle has are just to many and by replacing one component there is no guarantee to pass.
