Check the archives on "emissions test pass/fail" to see what suggestions have been offered in the past. Could be something as simple as needing a new catalytic converter, assuming car is in tune and sensors are ok. Other easy areas to check are: clean air filter, was car up to operating temperature - I always drive mine for about 20 minutes on highway before our E-test here in Ohio.

Found this in a previous post: The car in question was running rich:
"try the adjustment in the air mass meter. It can control the rich/lean level"
