Do what I did with my mother's Chevy Nova a number of years ago. Take it too the
best shop in town, and tell them it needs to pass emissions. As soon as it does,
go back to the same shop, and tell them to make it run right. It will cost you a
little money, but it sure beats the aggravation of repeated visits to smog
control.
