I don't know what the standard is for your state,but that doesn't
sound bad at all, for a 1994 spec vehicle.

How would they know timing was an issue?

I suggest your exhaust converter is worn out
May need a clean air filter
New O2 Sensor

Assume spark plugs aren't too old &
no ignition misfires?

Egr Valve ?

SOURCE: high hc

you may need replace the catalytic converter, but 1st do this, clean the throttle body and idle airbypass valve, change the oil before the retest as well, get it as hot as you can before the test, hold it at a high idle prior to the test, this may squeak you by, as a 20 year smog tech these are the thing I did, if all else fails do the cat conv.

I rebuilt the TBI, Changed every sensor in the truck and replaced the heads. I still cannot pass the CA smog test

Check everything that is connected to a vacuum line, check the CAT and the injectors and last run a compression test.

Failed MEAS

wow, no context but i can read your mind?
ok SMOG failed. right?
what speed, there are 2 in uSA, 15 and 25.mph.
so there are 3 tests, which one. all are PPM in usa.
parts per million.
but is that HC , CO, or NOX? or ?

based on your numbers is HC
hydrocarbons or in barstool, its raw gasoline leaving rear of car.
unburned fuel..

572 ppm is way too high 12-19 is normal
id say the CAT is bad.
but can be , engine is bad, and burned out the cat.
that is why all savvy mechanics, check the that the engines
holds closed loop status, (EFI closed loop) at the speed yours failed.
if not in closed loop the cat will burn up (rich)
that is first.
Once that is cured. you check HC again. if out of spec
you did burn up the can , new cat time.

that is the correct way.

Its running rich and the most likely cause is the lamba sensors ,check them out with a multimeter to check the heater circuits are functioning and the reading coming out is correct

My 1990 chevy astro van didn't pass smog. Paperwork says it failed the following; Ignition timing: 99 ATDC. Also, ASM Emission Test Results; 15mph HC (PPM) max is 122 measured 127, 25mph max is 102...

the smog test looks like the engine is miss firing, that could cause the timing to be out of whack also, try a old fashioned tune up, new spark plugs, wires, and filters also replace the PCV valve. any time you see the NO that high suspect a miss fire.

Need 92 toyota paseo to pass CA smog test ! What causes too high HC in smog test????

High HC means moisture in the system. Try driving it longer then take it to the smog shop. Otherwise it could be hard like a head gasket or easy such as a PCV not functioning. Any ways you should always drive it about 20 miles before smog check, longer when the weather is cold.
