So the reason the car fail was that HC(ppm) were too high. What should I be looking for in order to correct this? [IMG]  [/IMG]

cats might not be good..
did you let the car run for atleast 30 mins so the motor & cats are heated up before smogging it?
try putting some fresh spark plugs & 100 octane in it..

Just turned the car on and headed straight over, bout a 10 min drive.
I'll change the plugs and drive it a bit before smogging again.
Thanks!

Drive it hard for 30-40 minutes
Keep the car running until it's time to pull it into the sniffer.
