California emissions

Hello everyone, I have a 1986 190e 2.3 16 valve that needs work to pass California Smog. the car is not a California car. My daughter is based in Miramar and has the car out there and needs to pass Smog. My question is, what will be needed to pass this emissions test? she did take the car to a local station and the car failed... if anyone can help please...Thank you, Mike.
Ps. the car is all factory and not tempered with...

You have to learn the details of the failure to understand where to look--not a simple process--she did of course make sure the car was up to operating temp before testing--right!!

Thank you Plutoe, yes she drove the car on a 45 minute trip just before the test. Now she's been told by the military officials that if the repairs needed will exeed $450.00 this emissions issue can be waved. Needless to say it will stay as is. She is only in California for two years then back home to Pennsylvania... Thank you again sir...

Thank you SDfan, I sent this web site to her and asked her to check it out and if she needs anything else done to the car she can talk with them...
