mot and emissions results
Hi folks
My car actually passed its mot today (third time lucky)
And I'm asking about the emissons results I got.
They were in the pass level but the car needs something to make them better and make the car feel/run right
The results were:
CO- Max 3.50% actual- 0.11%. Very low
HC- Max 1200ppm actual- 1156ppm. Very high and just in the limit
So what does the car need to help these out etc?
Thanks peeps

Sorry peeps
Its an RS converted MK4 Escort Cabriolet. 1989 "G" reg.
As for the rest of the results, that is it I'm afraid.
Apart from idle speed- pass and smoke level- pass! lol
That's all that's on the sheet
And yes it is de-catted

The reason it only just scraped through is because it is running so lean, leading to a lot of unburnt fuel in the exhaust, this is your PPM, it will be much higher if running too lean, as a rough guess I'd expect from yours nearer 2 % CO, and 100-300 ppm.

It needs to be made richer, try turning the idle co screw, assume you have the std mfi, if which case insert a long 3mm allen key down the "tube" at the side of the air elbow on top of the fuel flap area, and turn, tbh this would be best done in a garage unless you have the means to measure it ?
You'll also find it drives vastly better as well.
