Hi, I'm new to smog, did less then 50 smogs, one of smog I did, during the 15/25, it keep displaying "Sample Dilution", and the system re-started for three times, then abort it,
I checked the hose, not any bend, do you know what is the problem? what should I do when next time this happen again?

Appreciated your help.

All the guys at the emissions testing places in TN are ex-cons making $10 an hour. All they do is take your $$$$, plug in a scan tool(or tailpiper sniffer on pre 1996 cars) and look under the car with a mirror for a cat converter. I don't think half of them even look for the converter though. Computer spits out a slip if you passed or failed, check takes less than 5 minutes.
