I received the dreaded failure today, and a quick search of the
archives didn't help a lot, because of the varying numbers. Here's
my story:
High speed test:
Avg RPMs: 2195
HC(PPM): 187 (Pass)
CO%: 0.55 (Pass)
CO2%: 13.9
O2%: 1.2
NOx(PPM): 0.00
Dilution%: 14.5
Idle test:
Avg RPMs: 804
HC(PPM): 307 (Fail)
CO%: 0.73 (Pass)
CO2%: 11.4
O2%: 4.3
NOx(PPM): 0.00
Dilution%: 12.1
HC and CO are all that needs to pass here, I'm assuming that NOx
wasn't measured since I have zero for both sets of data. This is for
a '91 SE-R, K&N filter, cat, exhaust, etc. O2 sensor is a few years
old, car has been running 87 octane gas, as much as I hate doing
that, the good stuff is too damn much for regular driving. K&N
filter recently cleaned and oiled, platinum plugs w/about 20k miles,
cap/rotor/wires about the same age, fuel filter replaced about 10k ago.
The cat on the car is at least 6 years old, I can't remember for
sure, O2 sensor is at least that old. I've got 2 weeks to get this
passed, cheaper suggestions appreciated. ;)
