Default Failed emissions 1986
The CO is 1.43 should be less than 1.20. Any ideas?

Thanks Larry

List your modifications. How old are your catalytic convertors? Also, when was the last time you changed the following - fuel filter, O2 sensors, EGR valve, spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor???

1 quart of denatured alcohol (4.95 at Wallmart) to a full tank of gas. Its a bandaid, but it works.

You need to be in tuned up shape, have a 195 degree thermostat, a HOT (not warm) engine, decent cats. Have you removed any emmisions equipment? Also, scan the ECM, it may be throwing a preliminary code.
