How to Get a 1985 Toyota Cressida Inline 6 with 2.8 Engine to Pass Smog Inspection When Ignition B15

1. Check the timing belt. If the timing belt is worn or damaged, it can cause the engine to run out of time, which will lead to emissions problems.

2. Check the spark plugs. If the spark plugs are worn or damaged, they can cause the engine to misfire, which will also lead to emissions problems.

3. Check the oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor monitors the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas and helps the engine control its air/fuel mixture. If the oxygen sensor is faulty, it can cause the engine to run rich or lean, which will lead to emissions problems.

4. Check the catalytic converter. The catalytic converter helps to clean up the exhaust gas by converting harmful pollutants into less harmful substances. If the catalytic converter is damaged or clogged, it can cause the engine to fail the smog inspection.

5. Have the car inspected by a qualified mechanic. If you are unsure about any of these steps, or if you simply want to be sure that your car will pass the smog inspection, have it inspected by a qualified mechanic.
