Hello,
My 82 spider (with 135k miles and Bosch EFI) just failed the California
emissions test. Here's the results:
At 2500 rpm
Type Max Allowed Measured
HC PPM 150 064
CO % 1.50 0.40
CO2 14.2
02 1.6
At idle
Type Max Allowed Measured
HC PPM 120 209 <<<<<<<<<<<Fail
CO % 1.50 0.10
CO2 13.0
02 3.2
It passed the visual inspection.
I saw in the shop manual that CO at idle should be between .2 and .6 %, and
I am low there. Could I adjust the screw in the air meter (as the manual
suggests)? I have recently put on new spark plugs and an O2 sensor, and the
spark wires are not that old.
Thanks for any help.
