Can we have some more info? Where are you, different states have
different rules. Why did it fail, be specific please.
If you're tested with an exhaust sniffer take the car out for a run
before the test. Hit the highway and run at least 15 miles at 65mph or
better, then get it tested. That'll get the car warmed up fully and
clean out the combustion chambers and exhaust system.
