Been off the board for a long time. Just moved to LA and need recs on a mechanic who can help me slip and slide past the smog test. So far, no luck on anyone I'd trust.

Also, anyone know if a clogged cat could cause my 87 FJ60 to miss between 1600 and 2200 rpm? I was thinking hairballs or something.

Hey creaky, I'm over in Manhattan Beach. I know of a few shops but they are closer to downtown LA. Just what is causing it not to pass smog? I'd say you better fix the missing problem first, that may have something to do with it :p

No, a clogged CAT won't cause a miss at cruise, but bad plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and carb. problems certianly would.

Have you attempted to have it smogged and failed? if so, what was the reason the tailpipe readings from the test?
