    It usually something with the exhaust or a leak somewhere that will prevent a smog pass. Are you throwing a CEL? We can try to figure it out.

    if your car still runs fine you dont need a new motor... as mack said, smog fail is usually something in the exhaust area...if you still have your original O2 sensors usually those go bad over time, both of mine just went bad early this year, replaced them and passed smog fine.

    and i speak of experience, i have my original 1ZZ with tranny at 226xxx miles

    from what ive experienced they are ok. you just have to look at the car and tell what type of driver was using it before...

    someone who took care of it, old lady, teen, etc...

    Check your spark plugs and make sure they are not loose. I had a loose spark plug once that sounded like a Rod knock.
