1992 SC400 failed smog in CA
the reason it failed is the NO(PPM)is at max 530 at 15 mph and 487 at 25 mph. I am new to this forum but mechanically inclined

ok . I just bought this car, 140,000 miles very clean, when i drove it hard i noticed a slight miss so I bought plugs,wires caps and rotors, (these vehicles are not the easiest cars to work on, I must be getting old) when I took the plugs out 3 of them were loose and 2 of them were so tight I had to use an air ratchet, i would have to assume there was no lube put on the old plugs, now the car runs hard so I'm going to try to smog it again, any assistance would be appreciated
