Hello all. My '93 2.3L 5spd, which I have owned since '95 w/ 15K miles & and now sits at 214K, failed low idle emissions w/ 2x Hydro Carbons this past weekend. Below are my numbers for both high and low idle test scores.
High Idle
HC (ppm) 220/89
CO (%) 1.20/0.40
CO2(%) /13.8
O2 (%) /0.9
Dilution >6.0/14.2
Low Idle -- Where I failed
HC (ppm) 220/556
CO (%) 1.20/0.78
CO2(%) /12.0
O2 (%) /3.1
Dilution >6.0/12.82
Maintenance up to this point include
-tune up/fuel filter replace 1yr ago
-cat was replaced 8 yrs ago (aftermarket bolt on for ~$100)
-Oil change less than 500miles
Any ideas would be appreciated. Dont want to continue to have to drive to SATX (located in ATX) to get an inspection sticker. Note, the truck is registered in a non-emissions county, hence the reason why I can get a way with going to non-emissions county like Bexar.
