Failed emission test....hydrocarbon help..

Grrr, failed emissions with the IROC hydrocarbons were high. I figured it needed a tune up anyway but wanted to try the test first. I just got done putting plugs,cap,and rotor in.

Think it'll pass now?


The std was 1.4gpm and mine was 2.09gpm

Man I almost for got the plugs on it were a semi pita to change....

Put the factory injectors and chip back in, you'll have a much better chance of passing the retest.

I already pulled the chip. I'd hate to have to replace injectors just for this stupid test though.

You could turn down the pressure, but that has the negative effect of reducing the misting.

If you really want to make sure you pass, put in 305 injectors.
