    so I failed smog its not really a big suprise because my truck doesnt run that great. so far I have done a basic tuneup and I think I need to rebuild the carb. what I am not sure about is that my test results said tampered. I am really wondering what this means and what smog parts originally came on my truck.
    Can larger tires be considered tampered?

    Try to make friends with a mechanic that has a dyno. I take my cars to my mechanic, he runs it and tells me pass or fail before i go pay for the test.

    Theyre not yota specific but they hooked up my nissan to where it would pass smog. They had to bypass a vaccum line and undid it cuz it ran like crap but it passed. N thats all that mattered a the time
