Save your money, donate your car and get a tax break this year. That's how my '89 2.6 continue to cause me to dig a deeper hole into my pocket. Failed smog at first test, rplc'd O2 sensor and converter; failed smog at second test with high HC at 15mph at 147ppm. Rplc'd most of the ignition components (roughly about $500.00 spent at this point) along with another converter (warranty), barely passed the third time with HC at 15mph at 114ppm (max.allowed). Thought I now can enjoy driving it for sometime with a new 2005 sticker on my plate, ehh..WRONG! It stalled on me while traveling 70mph in the left lane two days after it passed smog, everything just quit without warning! Fortunately I was able to coast to the right shoulder without mishap. Read my other posts, I'm still trying to get the engine to keep running longer than 15 minutes (numerous parts replaced..OVP relay, fuel pump relay, EZL module, coil, voltage regulator). Money I spent on this so far could have gone toward six monthly payments on a new Honda or Toyota. Just my opinion, good luck.
