Hi:
Purchased an 82 Regal 3.8 a few days ago, and took it to smog, which it failed miserably. Anyone good at analyzing a VIR and figuring out what exactly it is that I need to do? The smog guy there just told me that the engine is misfiring and the car probably has old gasoline residue.
VIR (first line is @ 15, second is @ 25):
RPM @ 15 mph: 1524
RPM @ 25 mph: 1278
%Co2 Meas: 14.0
%Co2 Meas: 13.6
%o2 Meas: 1.2
%o2 Meas: 1.6
HC (PPM)
Max: 128 GP: 318 Meas: 582
Max: 101 GP: 251 Meas: 484
CO (%)
Max: .93 GP: 2.43 Meas: .60
Max: .73 GP: 2.23 Meas: .59
NO (PPM)
Max: 1097 GP: 2197 Meas: 15
Max: 927 GP: 1997 Meas: 19
Any explanation would be welcomed.
