Emissions failure

[sharpshooter33 at adelphia.net (David Brown)]

Don't know why unhooking the O2 worked other than it leaned my engine out 
and it passed the test.  My O2 did die a year after the last test, so maybe 
it was going bad anyway.  Had a buddy do it to his also and get thru the 
test here in Ohio.

Glad the testing it gone.
