For starters you're going to have to be severely more descriptive...WHAT exactly isn't passing? Where are you located? What's been done to the car? Post your test results and the experts will chime in.

by the way the car's cat most likely is stock,there fore it is over 30 years old and I answered your OTHER Thread stating that you should replace it.
Rotary engines,especially ones that have had a bad tune(carb) can eat catalytics for Breakfast..melt the hell out of them.

Well you can always "find someone" for a fee. Ive also heard of people running their tanks to empty near the smog place, filling with pure alcohol and pulling up to the smog place and doing their smog, then immediately removing the alcohol and filling up with normal gas. Please please please research this before you attempt.
