hello ppl i had a question, few days ago i tried to smog my 89 coupe and it passed every test but one, it was the last part of the emissions test. so i went to a shop to get my cat looked at, that looked fine, and my muffler looks good also, im wondering if i post whatever numbers and other information i have, can anyone give me advice on what my problem might be? i also noticed that the car does not accelerate like it should, small sputtering but it still rides nice. any info is very much appretiated, and i will be back soon with exact numbers and info from the failed smog test. - lex
