Try setting the timing several degrees less that what it calls for. The car may run a little sluggish, but it might have a better chance of passing. You can move it back where it belongs after the test.

When was You're last Tune up?
Check the Spark Plugs to make sure the Gap is correct. HC is unburned fuel ,Check the Air filter and Replace as necessary,If coil over plugs Make sure to replace the Boots on the coils as they have a tendency to Bleed and wont show a trouble code.otherwise Change the Spark Plug Wires this should Clear You're Problem

1986 NISSAN 300ZX FAILED EMISSIONS HIGH CO

I would replace CATalitic converter, this car is old, plus a tuneup is 100% necessary , spark plugs wires, ditributor cap & rotor, plus both the air & fuel filters need replaced. change oil & filter. then you will pass emissions test. and your car will run like its suppose too. if you don't do all this , then buy a new car !

Emissions level HC (PPM) too high in truck. How to fix?

Do an oil change with 20W50 oil (or one grade higher) to prevent blow by during the test.

You current oil has HC from blow by though the rings.

Do a fresh oil change will lower the HC.

========
Change spark plugs,wires,cap and rotor if they are over 24,000 miles
========

Make the smog check appointment for the EARLY MORNING. Colder air will help the fuel burn better.

========

Clean or change the air filter and pcv valve.

Clean Mass Air Flow sensor with CRC Mass Air flow cleaner or electronic part cleaner.

========

Do a quick wipe down on the wires and cap to take the moisture off.

========

Check spark plug wire contacts for corrosion.

========

Fill the tank to around 3/4.......just in case your fuel pump is weak.

========

Ran the truck for 20+ minutes on highway before the test.

========

Do not carry excessive cargo on the truck bed.


These are the little things I would do to get the HC and CO down.
