Emission test vary all over; It would help to know what the tests were measuring for and to what extent they failed- what were your numbers and what were the standards? What else did you do to prepare? There was a thread on preparing for emissions sometime in the last week, I think, and sure to be a bunch in the archives. A lot of it may be voodoo but there are a few things that seem to be more-or-less universal prep points.

Cya, Robert
