#94325 i just bought my 95 ex mt on sunday from some guy for 1600

today i (california) smogged it and it didnt pass because

1. timing is off
2. the previous owner pulled the bulb out of the check engine light

#94327 Then fix your timing. If your still rocking the stock D16z6 SOHC VTEC Engine your car comes with, then its 3' before top dead center, Use a Timing light and dial it in so you can pass your smog test.

or you could move out of Cali. :thumb:
