1987 260E (187K miles) smog problem

Looks like your O2 sensor is dead. Is it original?

Hi Karl,my o2 sensor changed the last time my smog failed.The last time I passed my smog marginally.Car is consuming 1 quart /700 miles.Thanks for your input

Then you probably have high hydrocarbon emissions due to excessive crankcase blowby. As a temporary measure just to get the car to pass, you can try unplugging/unscrewing the PCV valve and let it suck in fresh air while the car is being tested. This will prevent oil fumes from going into your air intake (and hence, out the exhaust). This trick once worked on an old beater of mine....

"If it's tourist season, does that mean we can shoot them?"

not likely. oil consumption in this engine is almost always caused by oil passing worn valve seals and guides; blowby is caused by worn rings and cylinders. 1 qt per 700 mi will not register in the hc readings.
