Just failed emissions

hey i just went to get my emissions done and failed, i passed HC with an 88 Nox with a 560 but failed CO i got a .36 the limit was .32, i have all the emissions equipment, a new cat, plugs wires, cap and rotor.awhile ago itryed burning chips, screwed it up and had to get a new computer , my car is an 89 rs manual tranny the new computer with the chip was for a newr rs with an auto now i always get code 24 and it smells like it runs rich, but ive done nothing other than the computer to cause that. he said it could be a leak in an air pump line when i put my valve covers on the lines were a little small so i checked and a little air was cooming out so i got a new hose for that today. so im wondeing if any one can help me get my CO's down and also this diverter valve when i have the car running air comes out of the bottom i just wanted to make sure this was right. Thanks for the help.
