Default Help passing emissions...just failed

heres the results:

...... my results......standard
HC... 3.34...........1.60..........FAIL
CO... 44.46.........15.00.........FAIL
NOX..0.84...........2.50..........PASS

I got no codes when I ran KOEO/KOER test and fp pressure is at 34 and 42 with hose off. I think having my timing at 14* had something to do with failing. What else can i do to help me pass. I recently did cap, rotor, plugs and wires.

Dang, is all you haave done to your car in your sig? I hope you don't actually have your cam timing advanced and you meant to write ignition timing.

With a full exhaust, timing bump, and alot of burning oil... my sniffer test put out numbers close to 0 accross the board. I had .02 HC and can't remember the exact numbers of the others.

I set timing at 10* and i hooked the smog pump back up. Does anyone know of something to pour in the gas tank that will help. Hopefully I should pass now.

Just failed again and the results were worse! I even set timing to 10* and hooked smog pump directly to the midpipe. Im guessing the cats are burned up in this used stock h pipe I just got.
