It fails the New Mexico Emissions, with too high HC at low speed RPM 629
HC 369 limit 200
CO 0.37 limit 1.20
CO2 14.7
O2 0.00

high speed RPM 2547
HC 21 limit 200
CO 0.02 limit 1.20
CO2 14.9
O2 0.06

:confused: I understand my first post is supposed to be in the introductions forum, but I have no idea where to find it.

I don't have alot of money to do this, so I am wondering where I should be looking first in getting this car to pass emissions.

Thanks for Responding
 
Any mods to the motor? It looks like your running a little rich at the low end. How old is the O2 sensor? How many miles on the motor? Do you have a good tune on the car? What chip are you running?
 
Try what I did when my 86 GN wouldn't pass the Canadian emmissions. I can't remember my numbers why I failed........but all I did was buy an "emmission" chip from Eric at Turbo Tweak for $20. With the new chip all you need to do is lower the FP (like it says in the directions), install the chip, and run the test. Seriously, that's all I did......passed the test.....and put my other chip back in. Good to go.
Hope that helps.
