Have you tried to pass smog and failed? Or do you just suspect it will not pass?

As a general rule if you have a functioning catalytic converter (the main cat, the pre-cats are not strictly necessary) and all of the other emissions hardware is in place, you should be able to pass. Have you removed any of it?

There's a recipe in the FAQ for this section that details how to pass using ethanol as a last resort.

you start the car and drive it to the smog station.

you asked, what else did you expect for a response with zero information? if you want specific help, you gotta give some specific information, like how badly you failed and in what area.

There's a write up I think called mikes guide to pass smog? He tells you how to make sure acv is functional and all that jazz.

If your car has no cat, install one. If the air pump and ACV are deleted, reinstall.
