Toyota Corolla getting ready to take the emissions test.

Hello , I am going to take my 1996 Toyota Corrolla to get it smogged this saturday. I would like to know what are some tips I can follow to pass smog. Will the following help??? -Fuel Injector Cleaner -Thoroughly warm engine -Tire pressure at specs
Answer:

The fuel injector cleaner is good to use before the smog check; a few weeks before. Fuel additives are intended for long term engine benefits, and must be poured in during at least three tank fill ups. A warmed up engine is absolutely a must, and properly inflated tires are also very important. Best thing is to ensure your Toyota is in good running order, it starts up fine in the mornings, it has no hesitation, no idle problems, vibrations, major oil leaks, overheating problems... And no check engine light on. If this sounds like your Toyota Corolla, go for it and take the smog test. If properly maintained your car should have no problem passing the smog inspection. posted by SmogTips Support
