Toyota Celica Setting Ignition Timing

My Toyota Celica failed the smog test do to ignition timing. The results were 05 BTDC - Defective. My HC (PPM) was 63 at 15mph and 39 at 25mph.. I've already fixed the timing problem. Will it pass the smog chheck this time?

Answer:

We believe the HC emission results on the last smog test were borderline failing; however, with the correction of the ignition timing there is a very high likelyhood that HC emissions will drop enough to get your Toyota Celica to pass the smog test. The best test would be to actually go ahead and have a second smog test administered, posted by SmogTips Support
