I was told by the Smog shop that I was running too lean. They said that I wasnt getting enough air and the Air to Fuel was off by a bit. They said that maybe if I removed the air filter while doing the test it might help for it to breathe better. So I removed it and they ran the test again and the numbers came back 5x worse. I have to get 1.2 reading at the most, with out the filter it ran at 10.0-15.0, and I am currently at 2.08 with the air filter in. They said it might be the Mass Air Flow Sensor. I went to the dealer and they said that my car does not have one. I think it might be my O2 sensor. Can this make my car run lean? I dont want to change them out cuz the previous owner cross threaded the mofos. Where can I start fellas? Any suggestions? Thanks

Replace your O2, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, airfilter(or clean it if its K&N), and change the oil then go back you should have no problem passing.
