Okay. Do you have a slight misfire off idle? If so check and make sure plug wires #5 & #6 are not touching each other at all.

Your numbers weren't bad, and are idicative of too much timing, and a slight misfire off idle, and the system not being hot enough.

You MUST set the timing to it's stock setting before the test, which is 10 degrees. You also will have to find yourself a set of pre-cats to satisfy the visual. Pull your codes, and see why the MIL is on, and then reset the ECM. Lastly, next time you go to test, get the engine as hot as possible, without overheating. Spend 30 minutes driving to the test station, even if that means driving in circles.

Take care,
-Chris
