I also live in CA. I failed a few years back. My NOx was too high and I was told I needed to replace my catalytic converter. After doing so I BARELY passed. Strange thing is in subsequent years, I've passed with flying colors!
Some tips a smog guy gave me once: one tank of gas before the smog check dump a can of Techron (available at Chevron) to clean out carbon deposits from the engine. Also run the highest octane fuel as it burns cleaner. Also, don't buy cheap gas (from Thrifty, or Valero, or ARCO, etc.). I'm told a story where the difference between pass and fail was a tank of ARCO gas.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
