First, get the engine REALLY hot just before having another smog test done. 
Block off part of the radiator if you have to. The hotter the better, as 
long as the thing doesn't start misfiring. Second, fill the tank with gasohol. 
If there's none in your area, use isopropanol from a drug store or home 
garden center, to make a blend of at least 10% alky/90% gasoline.15% is better. 
The grade of gas doesn't matter. And make very sure all 4 spark plugs and 
their ignition wires are brand new. 
If you do all of these things, there's a good chance the car will pass a 
smog test. Deviate at your own risk. Once its passed, spend some money on the 
poor thing at a tune-up shop so you don't have to repeat the exercise again. 
Good luck- J Deryke
