So my girl's 240 wagon failed with its b230f. The volvo passed everything but the NO(PPM).
Her readings were
15mph@1759rpm
14.9% CO2
0.0 %O2
HC(PPM) 81M 37AVG 35Meas
CO % .52M.13AVG .14Meas
NO(PPM) 554M 277AVG 665Meas
25mph@1778rpm
14.8% CO2
0.0 CO@
HC(PPM) 63Max 27AVG 8Meas
CO% .43Max .10AVG .04Meas
NO(PPM) 511Max 215AVG 625Meas
Since it is so close to passing and all other readings seem in order, what do you all suggest? I know with my 3000gt even engine oil weight makes a difference, so any tips to help me pass?
I have heard that a tank of premium before the test helps burn off the gunk, but should there be premium in the tank during the test itself? What sort of tune up items should be addressed other than spark plugs/rotor and basic servicing. I do know it has a little hesitation starting when cold but it always starts/runs, just idles a bit rough while cold.
Thanks for any and all help just trying to finally finish up this smog crap so it can get some legit tags.
