Recently underwent another CARB colonoscopy on the 230,000+ mile GMC.
Seldom one to temp fate, screwed in some fresh $1.49 OE spark plugs beforehand.
Damned if didn’t register less than 25% of their allowable CO, HC and NOx standards.
Good news is another environmentally conscious HVAC retrofit project easily passed muster
after a disgruntled neighbor sicked the AQMD on my crew. :p:

How in the world would someone report on a retrofit. Were you guys exhausting something?

I have a p0420 code on my 2003 C230 Sedan. Gas mileage is terrible, getting about 23-24mpg highway, where I used to get 30+. I changed both the upstream and downstream sensor, code still there, gas mileage still bad.
I'm at 123k miles. Anyone else have a similar issue?
