The knock sensor wont do a thing during the emmision testing unless they are flogging the car on a dyno for the test. I would suggest running the car down to about 5 gallons of gas and then adding say 1/2 to 1 gallon of methanal (or ethanol is you can find any) to the tank . Drive the car until it's good and warm (a few full throttle blasts to get that old cat cookin') then have the test run. The alcohol will emit other pollutants that the machine is not looking for and the car will probably pass - this time. Now you will have the time to fix the car so it will pass next time. Better yet get political and get the stupid law changed.
