a lot of info on this if you do a search.

FWIW, there are many things that can contribute to a car not passing inspection. I would do the following first:

1) make sure O2 sensor is operating properly.
2) make sure air/fuel mixture is appropriate (14.7)
3) adjust valves before inspection.
4) run a can of Techron or SeaFoam in a full tank before inspection.
5) probably most importantly, take car for brisk 30 drive before inspection.

All of the above will help immeasurably.
