The high HC and CO coupled with the low NO shows the engine is running rich (the cooling effect of extra fuel in the combustion chamber causes low NO readings. A lean running condition would raise combustion chamber temperatures and therefore raise NO readings.).<br />Since it is an '86, the engine is fuel injected but not a MAF car and the fuel mixture is not adjustable. Things to check first: a good set of spark plugs, a properly working thermostat (a thermostat stuck open will not allow the engine to reach operating temperature and will run in constant "open loop" mode) and the MAP sensor. Check the condition of the vacuum tube going to the MAP sensor.<br /> <br /> <small>[ October 06, 2006, 01:40 PM: Message edited by: S351-R ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>red GT black rallyes</b> <br /><small>Member # 4495</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,9,7,15,59,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> dang what if my cuzin took in his car to get it smogged and it says gross polluter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> he only has 2 hi flo cats but still its all stock besides that but i know its running rich , what do i gota do? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>jaybquick</b> <br /><small>Member # 4286</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,9,11,22,47,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> What are your 02 readings? If the o2s are switching properly then it will read similar to that. The mustangs are very dependent on the Air pump system working. I need to know the 02 readings to see if the Air pump is working.<br /><br />My 347 with a .600 plus lift cam passes with no problems.
