Masterthere are dozens of sensors that could cause this. without knowing what was replaced, no one can help you.
if you paid a shop for work and it still won't pass the smog test, i think they owe you an explanation!Flag ThisLike0 -

TechnicianIf you failed the smog test because the readiness moniters have not run, then yes the technician is right. You will need to drive the vehicle a specific way meeting all of the parameters. Google it.
But if you failed because you have current or pending codes, then those will need to be addressed first.Flag ThisLike0
