HELP!! failed emissions

[joshuaaa]

so i just took the e30 to get emissions done and it failed. wonderin if anyone has any input on why it may have failed so i can avoid paying 150 to get it waived. im pretty strapped for cash and that would suck alot.

i have a 87 325es 150k miles. been not driving it for the past year and a half or so. finaly got it all fixed up and now i just need to get emissions done to get new tabs. any input would be great.

go to home depot and get a thing of denatured alcohol. run your tank down to like 1/8, shove the whole thing in there, go pass your emissions, then fill the rest of the tank up. be happy.
