Re: FAILED EMMISIONS TEST

[Paul R Anderson <audistuff@juno.com>]

It looks to me like maybe your catalytic converter or the oxygen sensor
is fouled.  If the O2 sensor is bad, it will cause it to run rich to
compensate.  That would be your HC problem.  This could lead to over
working the catalyst and lead to high NO levels.  I'd replace the O2
sensor pronto.
