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
