So, if I were as rich as my car is running right now I wouldn't be having
this problem…I failed all aspects of the emissions test, all of them.  Results
are:



HC ppm

Limit   Reading

220      687 (2500+-300)

220      1208 (Idle 775+-425)



CO%

Limit   Reading

1.20     9.95

1.20     10.62



What's really bugging me is that I replaced the 02 sensor over a year ago
(passed then with no problems).  I also replaced the Fuel Pressure Regulator
about 4-5 months ago.  What else could be affecting this?  Right now I am
assuming that I have a prematurely failing 02 sensor.  What else should I
look at?  The only other recent work I have done is PS hoses and fixing most
of the problems with my instrument cluster.  I have 10 days to fix the
problem so any immediate ideas are greatly appreciated.  Thanks…
