Pull an injector!? Heheh... when you pull an injector, the engine essentially runs on 3 cylinders... rough idle, poor performance, miss-fires, etc. Who ever told you that... well... smokin crack. There are much easier ways to fix excessively rich engines.

As for your emissions... you have ZERO chances of passing smog without a cat. I don't know why you even tried to. ALL cars are filthy without a cat and will never meet emission standards. Putting in a cat might also decrease your CO, which tells how rich your engine is running. Mind you, 3SGTEs are almost always really rich... but depending on your readings without a cat, it may go down a bit.
