Et a few bottles of forte gas treatment... put one in the tank fro a few days, then replace the fuel filter, putting some raw flush in with the new one... and the remainder in the tank.

May help a bit...

Change the engine oil too.

You can also effect the emision a bit with the screw in the back of the AFM.

Can you post a copy of the emmisions report?  The forte stuff is damn good gear, not easy to get though as forte say its not for retail sale.  Beware of ebay forte products, a forte rep told me its either fake or stolen! 

Cataclean is a damn good product as well, I have seen cars fail the test by a long way and pass after a dose of cataclean and forte gas treatment, oil change and a serious beating!
