General Smog Check
 

My 1993 Nissan Altima has a bad cylinder.

1993 Nissan Altima. Any chance I can pass a smog check if I have a bad cylinder. Basically only running on three right now.

Answer:  

More then likey not. A bad cylinder means a cylinder pretty much working as a "pump"; pumping fuel (HC) and air through the exhaust system. More then likey your Nissan will produce high HC during the smog inspection, causing it to fail the test.
