I'm not really sure what you mean...but if you failed the emissions test just go to auto zone etc. and get a bottle of G2P (guaranteed to pass). Pour it in a tank of gas...drive until about 1/4 tank left...and go PASS your emissions. It's cheap and it works...trust me I used it on my gf mustang to pass a sniffer test with fairly big cam, heads, lt's,no cats, smog, etc...good thing the guy never looked to see if anything was there..but it works to pass the test itself

OBD II, no emissions test. They just check the computer for codes.
This should help

G2P is good stuff and works most of the time,for the sake of life and the earth tune it up besides you will save gas money.

Remember if it doesn't run right it must be anything but a FORD.

It could be your O2 oxygen sensors. How many miles are on your car? Take it to a local mechanic and ask him to check it out for you.
