Re: Failed Inspection.

Yeah a printout would be helpful, theres many things that could fail you, and the particulate level indications could narrow that down a lot.

If not, start with the basics, spark plugs, fuel system cleaner (thats the guaranteed to pass), check for vacuum leaks, etc. The worst it could be is a bad catalytic converter...... also did you drive it a while before the smog test to get the engine and cats hot?
