Plan A
Tune it up, run stock fuel pressure w/ stock ecu.
Make sure you r cat is good.
See what happens.
Plan B
The right smog guy + $80 tip = pass w/certificate
That's what i did this year.

Re: (Lshatchy91)
Depending on how "emission friendly" your car is, these tips might help you pass.
1.) Make sure your exhaust system is intact, no leaks, and the catalytic converter is in good condition.
2.) Check the cleanliness of your air filter. A dirty air filter can result in lower fuel efficiency therefore increased emissions.
3.) Check Spark plugs. Make sure they are firing steady, clean, and have the proper gap.
4.) Timing. An out-of-sync engine can cause many bad things....
5.) Make sure you're not burning oil. Do an engine flush and change the oil before you go in for testing. Dirt and grime aren't friends of the emissions testing machine.
6.) Use a "clean fuel" before you go in. I'm talking about Oxygenated, and ethanol gases. I heard that using reformulated gasoline can reduce emissions like 15%
7.) Also make sure you're running stock fuel pressure like eda6 hb said
Hope some of these things prove useful. I talked to a buddy of mine who worked with the alternative fuel team at Mankato State University in Minnesota. He gave me some pointers so I thought I would share them with you
