Thanks to all who responded to my plea for help. My 86 Coupe failed
emissions last week.  I had put in a bottle of RXP, changed the plugs, and
drove through a tank of gas. Back to the shop for testing and the tech
mentioned that my idle was set high...around 1200.  This resulted in very
high hydrocarbon readings during the low idle test.  He adjusted it down to
950 and it passed with flying colors.  Not sure the RXP did much in this
case.  I have a digital dash, so I had no idea the idle was high.  Not sure
how that happened.  I've never adjusted it.
 
So, it passed. Fist time in 6 years.  Time to go get it registered.  I go to
get the title I had put in the trunk with all my other receipts, flip the
release lever on the door post and DANG IT!....trunk release is broken.  So,
of course my manuals are safe and sound too in the trunk.  Anyone know where
I should start?  Can I get to that lever through the interior panel or
should I try to pull the rear seats to get to the trunk?   Serenity Now!!!!!
 
Thanks for the help.
