Default Carfax help!!! Failed emissions test

I ran a carfax on a 99 ws6 im looking at. everything checked out ok, but on the odometer check, it showed mileage when the car was first registed of course. the only other odometer info was where they tried to get it inspected and it said "Emissions check, failed emissions test" The car is BONE stock, and from everything i can tell, its a cherry and has never been modded...IF its never had anything done to it, what could make it fail an emissions test in stock form???

any feedback appreciated

Could be something like a bad o2, or MAF. I dunno, you'd have to ask the owner why it failed.

Good luck,
Craig.

If it passes now don't worry about it. Being an F-body it could have been something as simple as a smog pump that ingested water or maybe the gas cap was loose.
