I have a 91 explorer. Last year I had trouble passing the TN emissions because of high HC. Rebuilt the engine, valves and all. Doing that made the HC to 64 and passed. Now again this year it failed again. Put new wires and plugs. Clean the intank, TB, MAF, IAC, intank air temp sensor. Checked for vacuum leaks, none. The engine ran alot better after new wires. 18+mpg. Was at 15mpg.
The readings I had before (for this year) the new wires- HC 1360 - CO .064% CO2- 5.95%.
Went today to retest. Drove 50+miles. Tried to get it tested again and failed again for the readings being too low. CO-0.01% CO2-4%. Nothing showed for HC. They said that the exhaust pipe was old and needed new pipe for leak. All of that is new. That said it had a miss, There is no miss every plug fires the engine idle smooth at one speed. They said the engine idled to low to test. :scratch: But the idle is at 600 rpms and controlled by the computer. The computer has been resetted after cleaning everything and drove it to relearn.
Anyone have any ideas to get the numbers up to pass.
No CEL.
