: I own an 87 325 with 195k miles and it won't pass the local emissions test. After it failed the first time I changed the plugs but then it failed again. It runs fine except for slight hesitation during acceleration. I don't know how to get it to pass, and if someone could give me an idea why it hesitates I would really apreciate it!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

You could try the 02 sensor, or you could take the easy way: run the gas tank close to empty then add a gasoline additive CONTAINING ALCOHOL. Go take the test. I works for me. If the additive doesn't say it doesn't contain alcohol, then it does.
