Kimber…
Your question is more than just a little bit ambiguous.
E-mail me with the results of the test.
What were the emissions levels?
What was the ignition timing reported?
What equipment does your little car have? (Emissions components)
How many miles?
What transmission?
What model Toyota?
If you can give me this information, I will try to give you a direction to go for either repairs or diagnostics. There is an emissions calculator that helps me focus the direction of the diagnostics.
Happy Motoring

Of course this question can be answered. If you changed your spark plugs, wires, then its not your electrical system. Those would be the only problems causing you to fail an emmisions test. If you haven't changed your exhaust, or had a new catalytic converter installed anytime soon (your car being an 89') it would most deffinetely, almost 100% sure it's that. Those filter out more then half of the emission junk. That's your best bet for sure! :)

H HEIDI, probable. CATALYTIC CONVERTER'S pass because of the fact something ELSE led to IT to pass. that's element of THE EXHAUST device AND includes PLATINUM that's WHY the fee lots. convey IT to a distinctive shop FOR A 2d OPINION. that's somewhat useful to pass to MIDAS, MEINIKE or in line with danger a broker FOR THIS . before HAVING IT carried out, GET IT CHECKED someplace else. good success.

You can disconnect a vacuum line at the engine.If the engine stalls, try another one.Leave the one disconnected that does not allow the engine to stall.Another way would be to add about a quart of straight Alcohol to your gas tank that has only a couple of gallons of gas in it.Alcohol burns cleaner.

Just do something to the exhaust pipe while it is being tested, so that way it looks like it is very clean. I don't really know what..

Your question can not be answered... you obviously are
emitting too much of something such as high Hydrocarbons
or otherwise... and yes it may be your Cat Conv. but it is an
expensive guess...
