This is absolultly was is happening. I also got the vehicle smog pretest today. I passed on my Nox(after changing the timing) but failed on HC and CO. They were twice as high as they were before and now I'm constituted as a gross polluter =( I will ripping the head of tonight. Hoping the problem will lie in the valves or somewhere. I dont even know I'm just gonna start looking and go from there. I know the car is running rich though.irocknrol2 wrote:If it smoothed out at idle with the fuel disconnected, it sounds like that cylinder is running rich at idle, when you rev it up it goes away.
