verde back running but fails emissions

[Ccrelan@domain.elided]

Hello everyone- I posted about a week and a half ago about my Verde that cut 
out on the interstate.  I have the car back running.  It turned out to be a 
connecting wire that goes to the maf sensor was not grounded/connected 
properly.

I took the car in for the new Massachusetts emissions test.  They put the car 
on a dyno and measure it that way.  The car failed the test.  I have gone 
through the car pretty thoroughly but something must not be working right.  I 
have a new exhaust/convertors from the engine back, all new filters, and 
tune-up parts.  I failed the HC test and the CO test.  The HC was 3.76 - with 
a 2.0 limit. The CO was 128 - with a 30.0 limit.  It did pass the NOX no 
problem.  

The car now is hunting a bit at idle and my friend who was following me home 
mentioned that when I punched it a puff of white smoke came out the tailpipe. 
 The car has plenty of power, but I am just dying to pass this damn test.

If anyone has any suggestions I will gladly take them. 

 Also, if anyone knows of a good Alfa mechanic close to Westchester County, 
NY.  I was thinking of trying Alfas Unlimited in Norwalk, CT.  Thanks a 
million everyone- Cory 87 Verde
