Jeff,
	When you put on the new A/F meter did you ever adjust the CO setting?  If 
you didn't that would account for the bad performance and massive pollution 
you speak of.  A clockwise turn should lean out the mixture but it is best 
to have the exhaust gas analyzer to set it properly.  You may have to 
remove the plug on top to gain access to the adjustment screw..
	If you need more info let me know..

DOM!

Subject: Milano smog questions

Hi digesti,

My Milano failed smog miserably recently, with CO and HC readings that were
both about 10x acceptable levels. Obviously not just a case of a dead
converter. So far I've done a basic tuneup- plugs, cap, rotor, O2 sensor,
timing belt and timing. This has improved the readings but not sufficiently
to pass. I'm still a gross polluter.

My Milano is a 3.0 Verde with a 2.5 air flow meter. Could that be causing
any problems? Beyond that, I believe the other likely culprits are the cold
start injector or a bad fuel injector. Before I start going these routes I
want to know that the 2.5 AFM isn't the primary cause of the problem.

Oh, if you want to know why it's a 2.5 AFM- my original 3.0 AFM died and 
APE
only had a 2.5. I've been using it ever since without a noticeable change 
in
performance. Flame me if you think I don't drive hard enough!

Thanks for the help,

Jeff Jensen
