Default smog check didnt pass

well my problem is that the smog check isn't passing is passes the one when their accelarating but not on the idle part.
when everything was running on idle the meter was on high border of the green close to the red.
well the car did pass when accelarating but not on the idle part
the limit is 220 i got 367 how can i adjust this problem

I unfortunately have to do about 10 of these tests a day up here in Canada. If you could be a bit more specific it would help. Did you fail on hydrocabons at idle (HC's) or Carbon monoxide (CO)?

And im guessing your cars Idle sits at close to 1000 rpm if ''the meter was on high border of the green close to the red''.

What did your car fail on! Honda cars are famous lean burners before OBD2. This causes them to fail the newer NOx tests because of more unrefined fuel and higher combustion temperatures. there are ways to fight this,Hope it helps. Post test results, That can help too!
