FAILED MISERABLY...gross polluter
went for the third time to the BAR referee to get my car tested. i passed visual and functional, but when i got to the sniffer test, my car failed horribly.
at idle, the MAX HC's are 120. my car had 4215. whats the problem? anyone have any ideas besides a new cat?

We really need a FAQ on this stuff. There's a new thread about this subject every other day.
Anyway...

1. EGR System
2. O2 Sensor
3. Timing/Spark Advance
4. Catalytic Converter
5. Incorrect/faulty thermostat
6. Coolant Temp Sensor may be open
7. MAP Sensor
8. MAF Sensor
9. Other sensors/switchs (uhhh yeah, ok)
