Hi, My mechanic thinks my van wont pass smog because the cat isnt getting hot enough(meow, purr), therefore I need a new cat. These numbers dont mean much to me: IDLE 0.17% CO 135PPM HC 2500 0.35 90PPM Before CAT at IDLE 3.65% CO 290PPM HC. I have already order the new cat and will replace it tomorrow, but was wondering what you smog pros thought about this diagnosis. I guess they used some kind of infared something or other to tell if the cat was getting hot enough... Thanks, Jeff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
