You need to ask each place individually where the truck was tested..usually its the same in each part of the state..as my experience has been .. compare the differences if any,,

No, the water pump leak would not cause it to fail the smog test. The only way that could have any bearing on the test results, would be if you lost a lot of coolant, and the car was overheating, then maybe it would have something to do with failing. What were the results (specific #;s and exactly what failed?) Is the check engine light on?

SOURCE: PCV valve failed visual inspection during smog

remove the hose to the PCV and It simply pulls out and a new one is pushed in and hose is inserted back on. It's kind of like a cork. I can not believe they check for visual inspection. Here in SC, we don't have inspections. But anyways, GOOD LUCK

Could be lots of things.
It could have a leaky injector that is dripping all the time.
You can pull the injectors while still on the fuel lines, to see.
You could have bad compression and burning oil.
You need to do a compression test to tell.
You could have a bad plug or wire.
They are cheap to so just change them.
The fuel injection system could be off.
Check the temp sensor, air mass sensor, O2 sensor, with an ohmmeter.
Don't remember the values, but bad ones usually go 0 or infinite.

Will a p2004 code stop me from passing smog

Depends on where you live. Regulations vary with state (or county/city), and some don't even require a smog test. You need to check with your local regulatory authority.

My 1999 kia sephia wont pass smog test

You will need to get it scanned and get the codes for the problem. If it failed the test due to emissions I would almost guarantee it will be your oxygen sensor or cat

I need to no what is the distance you have to give when passing a parked car whitch is at the side of the road

Each country (state, county) will have different laws about this. Check with your local police or traffic department. Otherwise, just drive safely and leave enough room.

No the water pump will not affect the smog test. You probably failed the idle?
Usually with this age of vehicle you can replace the o2 (oxygen) sensor and it will pass. Cleaning the MAF if it has one cant hurt either if you do it right.
