Subject: [s-cars] emissions....so close!

Yeah, what I meant to say is:

I just got back from failing my VA emissions test.
nothing too severe I think and it should be relatively
easy to remedy. I wanted to post the results and see
if anyone had any suggestions or has BTDT

Here are the results. I hope they come out alright:

    |IdleLimit|IdleTest|||SpeedLimit|SpeedTest|
HC  |  220    | 447    |||   220    |  151    |
CO  |  1.20   | .93    |||   1.20   |  1.15   |
    -------------------------------------------

As you can see, I failed the idle HC test. The S4
could use an oil change. Might take a look at the
plugs and at the next tech event, try and hunt around
for any possible vacuum leaks. Perhaps a new O2 sensor
is in order?

Thanks for any help

Sandy-

1st, and most obvious...  go SLAP that YUTZ you bought it from already 8-).

2nd...  slap in a can of Dry Gas on your way to your retest.  Run her up to
f'n Mach 3 right up to the door of the place, nice 'n hot (obeying all
posted traffic laws, butofcourse), should do the trick.  YMMV, good luck.
