it ran fine no stuttering before they adjusted the emissions apart from smell of fuel etc

adjusting that screw should be left to people who know what they are doing as it is a global modifier and can affect the fuel in the whole map to some extent, sounds like it needs setting up
my co was that high a few months back it was due to a faulty map sensor that was found and replaced during my set up

my co is now around 0.9% iirc

oh and with it now stuttering i would not be ragging it as you will probably melt a piston, plus with that co you will be borewashing and risk damage the engine bearings

If it's on greys it may now be mapped properly as some of people cannot do so.

Otherwise if it was ok then something has changed, and adjusting the CO is not the answer!

Check the CTS as they can go out of scope and give an incorrect reading, i.e. the signal is telling the ECU it's colder than it is and hence it's fueling for it.

Best thing is a setup as said.
