Smog Test results

I just had my car smogged, 124k on the odo. Last time I had it smogged was 2 years ago with 94k on the odo. Spark plugs were changed at 60k and I am planning on changing them soon. Even though my car passed, I am concerned with some of the numbers.



Any comments?

That is how the chart is formatted from the test. Is there a better way I can present the data?

Any smog guru's care to chime in? I'm trying to assess long term costs of this car.

In MetroAtlanta, we just have the PASS and FAIL. Nothing complicated. Or maybe never paid attention to the results...

seems like your cat is clogged or has lost efficiency. Although still you shouldnt have such high numbers. my car passed last time without a main cat so I dont see why you should have numbers like with with a cat
