tried retarding your ignition timing a little? That always helps. But, should you not be able to pass it, here's a real easy slick way - unplug one injector. Instant - 1/4 emissions. It works if you don't have a visual. If they ask, tell em you have a boxer motor in there

depends. If you are 88-early 97, you won't. If you are mid 97 and later, you will.

If you are OBD1, then you're in great shape, no CEL for you!

It doesn't matter which cylinder you unplug

Without real numbers its hard to tell. But since you failed all three, start witht eh most obvious, the Cataltic Converter.

Next retard the timing and lean the mixture a bit. Drop a couple bottles of Iso heet in the tank and make sure the car is good an hot before testing.

If your running cold plugs, put in stockers, just don't beat on the car until it's got the colder plugs back in it. This will promote fuller combustion at idle.
