Failed Emissions

I went through emissions today and the only thing too high was the HC.
CO and NOx were average. what can i do to get the HC lower.

Is the spark plug mod on GM Tips web site worth doingÉ

Thanks

were the HCs to high by alot?
Change your oil, that will cut HCs a little.
Lean her out a tiny.
Change your PCV if you have one.

usually cars dont fail unless some smog equipment is not working well.
