The tech should let the car idle while doing the visual check. These guys should know better. Talk to the manager or find another test station.
Assuming your engine has the R16/1 resistor, shorting the connector and plugging the vacuum advance signal line should do the trick.

Thanks, I'm getting upset about how this last smog test was conducted.
I'll have to get the results from the car & post them.
This is the same shop that passed her 2 years ago.
The NOx barely passed in 2013 also. I did not see the car smogged that time.
I went to this smog as they got the car to pass 2 years ago & seemed to know what they were doing. I checked & they have the same smog tech name. Nothing but time & unused have happened to the car since the last smog but I have noticed it idles higher in both P & D now. Guess whatever is causing that could be a factor.
They got me as a gross polluter now & I know that's not good.
I thought I could trust them but I might have to find another smog station.
I'm sorry but I know nothing about a resistor & am technically unable.
Thanks for the advise!
