OH NO!! Didnt pass emissions
 

Any suggestions on how to get this car to pass? It hasnt been run in a few months but i ran it pretty hard before the test. It passed the CO2 test with flying colors but that other test:
Allowed: 220
Actual: 253
I got new iridium spark plugs but i dont think that will be enough to make her pass. What else can i do to get her under 220? There are no modification that would effect this on the car, mostly stock intake stuff. Let me know, please!!!

I would go to pet boys or ? and get a bottle of octane boost and a bottle of emmission stuff (dont know what its called) But it is stated that it will lower the emissions. Only talking about 10.00 bucks or less, worth a try and probably will work.. You were not that far out of line. ... Jim

I had the same problem in Maryland. Did everything but a tuneup and it still didn't pass, so I got a two-year waiver because I had spent more than the necessary $450 to get one. (It was $500). One thing I did do was change both O2 sensors. That worked on the part of the test that I didn't pass the first time. It passed, but then I didn't pass another part of the test. The mechanic said that when you fix one thing you break another, and it could be never-ending. Well, I'm good for two years.

But the O2 sensors may do the trick for you.
