Re: Passed emissions test



| Passed my bi-annual smog test yesterday.  YESSSSSSS!

Wow--I'm happy for you, but I'm glad I don't have to pass your state's specs.  I just failed, again.  Time for more tweakage:

Idle HC limit 300, measured 877.
Idle CO% limit 2.5, measured 0.11

This I think is the result of an over-correction in the last adjustment, when considering the numbers from the test prior to this:

Idle HC measured 217
Idle CO% measured 7.37

Now, someone was telling me dirty injectors could be a culprit, (though I think more "dialing in" should be tried first) suggesting I remove and clean them.  A check in the book tells me they can't be cleaned--just replaced.  Is this true?  I'm new at this emission-passing rigmarole.  If anyone has any advice, I'd love some input!

| Idle HC limit is 220, measured 52.
| Idle CO% limit is 2.00, measured 1.71.  A little too close for comfort.  Have
| to do a little more dialing-in next time.
