Was the HC high at low or high rpm?

Drive it for atleast 15 minutes, put some high octane gas(some race gas will gurantee good numbers), and go straight to smog.. and dont turn off the car over there, let it run so it stays warmed up.. I did that the last 2 times I had 2 smog a stang..

Thats why it failed, you need to drive it a good distance before smogging.

I don't know about you, but it takes a good 10-15 minutes for my car to even warm up properly. 2 minutes, that thing was still cold as the rockies.

Not everyone understands how E85 works. Let alone how gas works
