I failed my emmisions exam
I failed the idle which is supposed to be 220 for hydrocarbon and my Vette was at 967 :eek: . CO% at 1.2 while I was at 1.35 (not too bad)
I passed the cruise emmission though. I'm trying to find what is making my idle rich and why at cruising it's not so bad. And I don't have a cat but since at cruise I'm passing maybe I don't have to worry about a new one (Maybe)

Re: I failed my emmisions exam (John Row)
My O2 sensor is not that old 2years, but due to hte length it's been located I should get a heated sensor or relocate the bung in the collector

I think heated sensors are pretty much required on long tubes. Although, if you take it to the smog station after it's been heated up the sensors should be hot enough to work.
