94 Accord CA smog
Hello all. I moved to California about a year and a half ago, and my 94 EX MT is not registered. It barely passed smog in Texas with an NOx reading of 1002 ppm on the ASM 15 mph test. I calculated it would need to score in around 700 to pass CA smog. Is this accurate?

For those of you in CA, what NOx numbers are you seeing on the ASM low speed? The car has 205,000 miles on it. I cleaned the EGR ports--they were completely clogged--in Texas right before it passed. I put the same EGR gasket back on though. I would like to get the car registered before my luck in driving it runs out. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

lucky for you i just passed my smog test on tuesday. the max NOx at 15mph allowed is 731. the first time i took the test i failed with a reading of 1100 or something close to that. did a simple oil and plug change and passed. this is with a b18c1 too.

By plug, do you mean oil filter? I'm not sure how an oil change would impact NOx numbers. Could it be the crankcase ventilation and extra vapor from contaminated oil?
I was thinking my EGR system might need further work, but if an oil and filter change would do it, I'd be very happy.
